Roll vs Yaw crusades
From Elite Wiki
Do you prefer to use roll (left and right arrows) or yaw (, and .) when flying your ship?
The early versions of Classic Elite only had roll and pitch. The yaw option came to Oolite with Jens Ayrton (c.2009?). Many of the long-standing players of Oolite who began with Elite in their halcyon days internalised rolling as the alternative to pitching in manoeuvering their craft. So do many who have actually flown - whether flight sims, real gliders, or something larger!
Those who have come more recently to Oolite often find that yaw is more instinctive to their gaming.
Note that Oolite favours pitch over Yaw (better manoeuvering) - and some oxp's such as Hard Way emphasise this even more.
