For mouse/keyboard combo I have been using this setup. Mouse controls side to side and up and down(standard setup). I have a 3 button mouse so button one controls lasers(primary weapon), button 2 controls missles(secondary weapon) and button 3 controls flares(don't really need them). Keyboard setup. A accelerate. Z decelerate(preset I think). S left slide, F right slide, D down slide, E up slide. Excellent movement and no control problems really. Worst control problem is the hardware. 486sx/25 with a paradise 256k video card. Yes Descent runs(just finished last night)but the constant slow downs can make life difficult. -- Justin Ballard E-Mail: jt...@po.cwru.edu 4470 Turney Road Phone#: (216)441-6309 Cleveland, OH 44105
