Glad to see you got this sorted my friend.
Btw, I found the post above in this fast moving thread where Scott posted Travis’ video on drifting.
Edit: Aha, I missed this the first time I saw the video since Travis only mentions it once, and if you blink you’ll miss it. He said you hold down the Throttle down key. That’s what lets you drift. And then he used his afterburners to maneuver while holding down the throttle down key.
I think when I try the HOKAS setup tonight, I’ll probably go back to my old Wing Commander/Freespace setup:
Tab: Afterburner
A: Throttle Up
Z: Throttle Down
Everything else was changeable between different space sims. I think the command menu is important enough I might assign it to the Shift key.
