    • Funny Control bug


      I did a quick search on this but nothing turned up.

      I've played EV for a while now, on my Quadra back when it still worked reasonably and then using the Executor emulator. Recently I got a dose of nostalgia and, remember my poor experience with Executor, installed the softmac emulator from emulators.com. I got the emulator up and running with (as far as I can tell) no errors.

      However, once I installed EV, again without a hitch, and got into the game to play it something really weird happened. Starting on Levo, I can rotate my shuttlecraft, but when I push the thrust button, it thrusts me in the opposite direction. If I continue to hold down thrust, regardless of what direction my ship is facing, the game seems to push me towards the upper-left. Meanwhile, all the ships in the system are doing the same thing... floating quickly to the upper left. If I select a hyperspace destination and try to jump, the ship will turn so it faces backwards, but it doesn't slow down. In fact, it seems to get the game stuck in a script I can't esc out of... it's in the middle of the jump sequence, but it doesn't actually jump.

      I don't think the keyboard has anything to do with it... it works fine on all the other emulated programs. Anyone encounter something like this? Any help would be useful. Thanks.

    • Don't know whats wrong, try checking the preferences or make sure to keep you pilot files and reinstall it.

    • When running an emulator, problems that aren't there in the real version tend to slip in. The only advice I can give you is to get a Mac, which isn't terribly helpful to your situation. 🙂

    • I fiddled around with various settings, but couldn't fix the problem. I went ahead and tried out Basilisk 2, and it now runs fine.
