Z-Axis Problems

from Sins Forums

EDIT: It seems this problem has vanished in a puff of smoke. Nevermind this message

I know that this isn't technically beta feedback, but since this problem is caused by a feature that only the beta has, I thought it would be appropriate.

A few minutes ago, I tried the Z-axis controls, which (intentionally or not) were added to 1.096. I quickly found out that I had no idea how to use them, and I shut the feature off. Or rather, I removed the keybinding for it.

However, I soon found out that if I told a ship to move somewhere within a gravity well, the game would pick some arbitrary point in space to order the ship to. This is difficult to explain, so I recorded it:

I'm almost certain that this is not a bug, but rather stems from my complete uncomprehension of how the Z-axis control works. I have no intention of using that feature now, so don't bother explaining how. But if anyone knows how to fix this problem, I would be very grateful for your help.

If you ever do want an explanation of how to use the Z-Axis, I've a thread in this same forum called "Z-Axis back in 1.096?" that provides one.

Thanks, I looked through it before I enabled that feature. Perhaps I'll look again and see if I can't figure out what's causing the issue.
