Holy crap, something is driving me insane. I keep editing the Settings.xml file to change the line that says:

Code: Select all

<Map command="ThrustForward" key="Down"/>
to say

Code: Select all

<Map command="Stop" key="Down"/>
but it's not working and every time I go back in and look at the file it has reverted to the original even though I am running my editor as Administrator. Has anyone else encountered this and can maybe tell me what the hell is going on?

I'm running version 1.08a on Windows 7.

Location: Hmm... I'm confused. Anybody have a starmap to the Core?

Try running 1.08b.
Maybe you could change thrustforward to a dummy key to satisfy Trans and then change stop to down?
*EDIT
Another issue is that maybe it's hardcoded and you can't override it :/
I'll try to do it myself if you still need more help (got homework to do D: )
