In WC it is not a bug, it is a feature. The in game reasons why ships don't fly newtonian is because they have some fuel collecting device attached (some sort of energy field that absorbs particles). By activating the slide mode you disable them and thus you fly newtonian. The buttons to do so should be "Caps Lock" (works as long as you hold it) and the button below ESC - I think that is the ~ on the US keyboard? (turn off/on). -- My mind works like lightning. One brilliant flash and it is gone. [Delete the karl after the @ to avoid my spam trap]
