Hi, I've been using a 3D Connexion Space Navigator controller with SE0.972
Here's an alternative camera control configuration for those with this controller.
This sets up the SE camera control similar to Google Earth. To me this feels more natural.
In config/keys.cfg find the SpaceNavigator section and replace these Cam* lines...
Code
Axis { "CamMoveForward" "- Axis 1" }
Axis { "CamMoveBack" "+ Axis 1" }
Axis { "CamMoveLeft" "- Axis 0" }
Axis { "CamMoveRight" "+ Axis 0" }
Axis { "CamMoveUp" "- Axis 2" }
Axis { "CamMoveDown" "+ Axis 2" }
Axis { "CamTurnLeft" "- Axis 5" }
Axis { "CamTurnRight" "+ Axis 5" }
Axis { "CamTurnUp" "+ Axis 3" }
Axis { "CamTurnDown" "- Axis 3" }
Axis { "CamTurnCW" "- Axis 4" }
Axis { "CamTurnCCW" "+ Axis 4" }
This is a good start but is not perfect. I will post more feedback about SpaceNav and SE when I can articulate it clearly.
With a little bit more work the 6-axis Space Navigator could be the ideal controller for Space Engine.
Cheers, Andrew
