Flight Training Available!

FM_Jarnis · 11-05-2009, 02:44 AM

Some people complained that there was no way to set up a private 1-player server at this time just to experiment and train. While you'll have to wait for that until the dedicated server files become publicly available, we have a solution.

FGS has set up a couple of servers specifically for training - in case you haven't completed the Zero-G combat training course elsewhere.

Just look up servers labeled...

Flight Training - No Damage

On these servers you can happily experiment with the controls and learn the levels without a risk of someone sneaking up on you and ripping your spacesuit open.

Not that anyone would do that to you on normal servers. Much.

Nice idea, great for chilling out

Honestly, you guys are the best

I never saw such fast response times and much more important, you don´t talk about it, you do it !

Can´t wait to get home from work and to relax in space

Yeah, I got a bit frustrated and discouraged on my first day. This game requires some movement/control practice before playing an actual match more than any other game

Same here. I got "tanked" so many times with one shot from who knows were I gave up.

Will be practicing after work tonight! Thanks, FM Team!

nice idea

Indeed good idea, and excellent public relations.

I recommend fiddling with your keybindings if you feel like any of them are uncomfortable. For instance, silent running for me is binded to X instead of HOME, and rolling is bound to my SPACEBAR. Up and down movements are binded to shift and ctrl, respectively. See what works for you.

Expecting anyone to regularly use something bound to "Home" is silly.

I bind stuff to Home all the time... but that's because I have one of my two mouse thumb buttons bound to Home in SetPoint.

Key rebinding for teh win!

Personally I just bound it to "1" since it is closed to the WSAD.

I can see how this kind of play might lead to cosmic cumbayá meetings.

Lazareth · 11-08-2009, 11:25 PM

the flight training thing is brilliant.

davestanley · 12-29-2009, 10:32 AM

Can't wait! I'll have to wait until my birthday though (getting a new buffed up PC with Windows 7 and DirectX 10!!!). But either way, the game looks great, just sad that it can't run on XP and DirectX 9 (don't ask why I still use this).

Much appreciated! Too many games won't let you do these sorts of things, nice to know we're being taken care of!
