I am loving this game! I got it in a bundle on itch.io at some point, but I'm enjoying it so much I bought another copy on Steam for a friend of mine.

One small thing that's driving me a bit bananas, however:

I'm playing on a controller (Xbox 360 wired) and everything works great, but the horn button is mapped to clicking in the left stick (button L3). When things get tense, that left stick gets (accidentally) clicked A LOT, and the combination of the noise and the passenger moving back and forth on the platform is very frustrating, I assure you.

[edit] I also just noticed it turns the auto-levelling on/off at the same time as honking the horn [/edit]

I've looked and looked, but is there a way for me to change a config somewhere so that function isn't mapped to that button (Horn is already mapped to button B quite adequately)?

Please?

Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback! :)

Autoleveling is supposed to be activated when moving the stick up/down, not pressing it if I remember correctly.

About the honking: I used multiple buttons for some functions, because I thought that everyone should be able to reach the function with the button most convenient for them.

It should not be much of a problem to add an option to select which button should honk.

I will try to upload a new version soon.

I was curious, so I went back in and tested. Nope: moving the left stick up and down moves the taxi up and down, but the auto-levelling only activates if the stick is clicked. I haven't checked to see what, if any, other key activates auto-levelling, but if the clicking of the left stick did nothing at all that would be best (imho). It's the only button on the entire pad that ever gets pressed accidentally.

Hi! It's up/down on the right stick, not the left.

That the left stick is doing two things at once is a bug.

I think I will add an option to select the function for the left (and maybe right) stick(s).

I've uploaded an update. Please check it out, when you have time!

Gave it a try. Disappointingly (and confusingly), whilst the auto-levelling is now not toggled by the clicking of the left stick (L3 button), the horn still is.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling just in case (of something?), and I'm using the Win64 version, but yeah... close but no cigar?

Did you change the settings?

The default is still the same, because I'm using the left stick honking and right stick landing gear function a lot. It's convenient, so your fingers don't have to leave the sticks.

But you can change this in the settings now.

Oops, didn't realise it was in the settings.

All changed now, thank you. :)

Now I can spend less time cursing you for the controls and more for those abominable missiles! :)

Hehe, yay... I think. :)
