Chers développeurs ce jeu est vraiment génial, cependant pouvons nous espérer de pouvoir piloter avec joystick HOTAS et palonnier ? Joueur sur DCS je suis vraiment nul en pilotage clavier et/ou souris.

The way this is worded to me, sounds like parts can only be rotated on 1 axis. that's no good.

PTU - I have been having a ball with the easy build mode. GREAT work. PTU version is great.
The Shift Mouse scroll takes a little bit of learning what axis is the "HOME" position of the module. But after placing a few. Boom Straight in. Easy to spam in plates.
Parts from station inventory was great to use.

I will F1 some more PTU - feedback
