  Good lord if that ain’t the truth.

  It has every opportunity to be good, but I can’t even navigate the goddamn menus, let alone step into my ship.

  Forget about using something other than a mouse and keyboard too, it just won’t work.

    Yeah, I never even bought it after reading the reviews about how janky it is, I want to use a HOTAS and rudder pedals and it doesn’t sound possible in X4

      I play it with hotas and it works fine. You’ll absolutely still want to keep a keyboard and mouse handy though because the RTS/management half of the game is really not that well controlled with a flight stick.

  Like any of these games, you need to change the key bindings.

  I have a set that I use in all space sim. What I am trying to say is that the control can be the same as any other space sim.

  This type of game might not be your kind of stuff.

    No X is absolutely my type of game. Don’t blame me for the horrible controls and menus, I didn’t create that hot mess. It’s also a well complained about part of the game.

    I couldn’t find a way to bind a double press in X4, so hold RB and tap X for example. These combinations are essential because there is no other way to use a controller to perform all of the necessary controls. It’s a shame because I would have invested a lot into the game if that was surmountable.

      Steam might be able to bind that. But then you’re probably going to need a diagram next to you while you play so you remember all the controls.

        I tried binding in Steam but the controller settings in Steam are kind of terrible too. Half the time I don’t know what a setting does, and I feel like I need to do a training course to understand it. So I gave up and went back to Elite.

  I play with an HOTAS, so controls are the same as in Star Citizen for me

  What part do you feel is horrible? I enjoyed playing it a lot.

    The controls and menus.
