Hi all.
I just downloaded this mod because I thought it would be good for my first playthrough of the X-wing games. I don't have a joystick yet, I'm planning on getting one soon though. I installed all the patches and everything, turned on joystick emulation with my mouse, and it works okay, but I can't roll my ship in flight. I assume there's a key combo or mouse movement that does it, but I haven't figured it out yet. Does anybody knows what it is? Sorry if this has already been asked before, I searched but I couldn't see anything on here right away. Thanks!

Hello,

Quick reference to bookmark:

To roll, the key is Alt+3 (Roll/Target ship in sights). You may want to map that to a more convenient using some third party application/profiler that allows to emulate key presses (like Joystick Gremlin.

There is a very good tutorial by @LPhoenix to configure mouse+keyboard controls in a better way than the built-in joystick emulation.
