ReverseControl

Description

Your ship's up-down and roll controls will be reversed in the aft view, so you can aim exactly as in the front view.

The controls in left and right views are normalized also, but the centre of the roll seems to be not equal with the centre of your view which looks a bit strange but I can not fix. Moreover if your ship is not stopped then even a stationary target will always go out sideways from your crossharis due to you go forward which looks like sideway movement in the side views, so you must constantly roll and pitch again. Should practice the side aim during movement on the navigation buoy first.

If you are not like the roll in side views then use the yaw controls ("," and "." keys) instead of roll.

You can redefine your keys in oolite.app/Resources/Config/keyconfig.plist , for example the following lines put yaw on horizontal arrows and roll to the comma and dot keys:

key_roll_left	= ",";
key_roll_right	= ".";
key_yaw_left	= 253;	// left arrow
key_yaw_right	= 252;	// right arrow
