Read by Council Derpy Barrel Roll

[SuperWookie]

Not sure if its broken or has been changed but barrel rolling since the last patch has been screwed up. Holding the spin keys on a ship will rotate and then spaz out and start aiming your ship in different directions from what you originally began the roll in. This seems to be caused by where the mouse is located, however I've noticed that doing the roll will also move your mouse if flying straight anyway. If this was a change then I recommend the roll needs to be changed back to remain on the ships axis regardless of where the mouse cursor is placed. If its a bug then it could do with being fixed as it makes dogfighting smaller ships a lot harder.

Yeah, I noticed that also. It only seems to be a problem when doing a very fast barrel roll.

Does it have to do with center of mass?

While I agree with Rimmer there on the literal nature of the name "barrel roll", I allso agree with SuperWookie that the existing Roll code needs a reverting to that in version 19488 at minimum, since the code was working "correctly" in that version.

I think that it's caused by conflicting controls. The default control keybinds were changed in the last update, so it probably caused a bug to occur.

 

[Lord_Greyscale]

Hmm. Quite possible.
I'll have to poke around in the files, see it I can find what's conflicting.

This is a bug, the ship seems to want to roll in relation to the mouse not the direction the ship is facing. I rolled a stationary ship and had no problems. The second I try to turn while rotating and it all goes haywire.

Something went fucky with the calculations for rolling, this is a known and reported bug, and has been around since the thruster update.

Glad I happened across this thread. Was thinking my newest ship's center of mass was so derped It couldn't maneuver properly anymore. LOL.
