to roll you have to edit some file that maps maneuvers to keys. I forget which they are but I THINK they are in the interface folder...

also to get them to show up in the controls section ingame, I think youd need to edit the menu(not sure) which probably is complicated...

I did a search on "Strafe" and "Rolling" and got alot of posts from some time back. In short, you edit keymap.ini and keylist.ini in the data/interface folder. The commands are USER_ROTATE_X and USER_UNROTATE_X.

However, the "rolling" _only_ works in the cockpit view, no other view, even if you assign a key to disable Auto Leveling, so it's _really_ pointless unless you ONLY fly in the cockpit view. Which, you could, but that'd be silly.

As for vertical strafe, same files to edit. I bound mine to "W" and "S" since I have a scroll mouse, I control thrust with that instead, but I did back up accelerate/decellerate to the Up and Down arrows respectively.

USER_ROTATE_Y and USER_UNROTATE_Y.
USER_ROTATE_Z and USER_UNROTATE_Z.

Yes, there is also Y and Z, however, those don't quite cover traditional rolling. Typical sim flight rolling is rotation around the X axis.

In either case, it's a moot point unless you care to fly exclusively in cockpit mode.

I tried enabling the keys under any and all sections of the keymap.ini (even removing them from under IDR_CHASECAM) to no avail.

I even tried namine them USER_MANEUVER_ROTATE_X and well.....yeah, that didn't work either. In short: 9hrs work = 0 success.

*shrug*

And Vertical Strafe, while it's do-able doesn't have any pro's or con's to it, really. You either use it or you don't. But it's nice to atleast have the option available to use if you should choose.

Hmm..... been gone a looooooong time so I have a MINOR question:
