EpisparhKurakilDecided to try kb+m for SRV controls instead of hotas. It will take me a bit to get used to but I find it more agreeable so far.
FA off and it drives like a car. Flying is a bit tricky without relative mause on, but given that it controls only pitch it is far easier than faoff ship flight
It only took me around 2 hours before I didn't have to think about the controls with kb+m (I was expecting a longer time). I didn't try any fancy aerobatics but I rarely intentionally do that anyway. The main reason I wanted to change is that I found when I was in turret mode, it was difficult to aim accurately/precise with the stick. Using the mouse for that was way better and I can also free-look all the time when in normal mode more easily. Eventually I will try it for ships but for now I will just use them for SRV and on-foot.
