Many people will be playing this game with a keyboard, like me.
Throttle is always hard to control with a keyboard because most default controls use +/-
This only serves for a lot of button mashing and disrupts the game.

I would like to be able to use my scroll wheel on my mouse.
I wouldn't have to disrupt my aiming.
I could make a small or large adjustment in speed very quickly.
Will this be possible?

Also, are there any others suggestions on how to best control your throttle with a mouse and keyboard setup?

If MWO supports key mapping, I wouldn't see why I can't have a throttle to my left, keyboard at the center for any functions I need, and my mouse for aiming.

I'm sure there was a blog telling us the default controls...

Yes, yes there is: http://mwomercs.com/...-warfare-part-i

What would you use for a throttle?

If you want to be a forum moderator just go and apply for one it....really! Seems to be the only thing your doing according to your posting history.

@OP:

MechWarrior:Living Legends uses W and S for Throttle controls by default, and I've used the Mouse Scroll Wheel for it where keybinding allows it.

Thanks but I don't think "pointing out the obvious" is the main skill required to be a moderator. Though admittedly it is in quite some demand.

Hold on Psyche do not diss Jonneh he is helping the OP find what he is looking for good on him

But yes just use W,S for the throttle and A,D for turning

Holski77 Did you ever find the answer to your question or did you conform to the default. I would like to scroll it too. Funny how when you ask a question like this there is always someone to play captain obvious and few who even try to answer.



Something like this in C:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\USER\Profiles\(name)\actionmaps.xml seems to work.

<ActionMaps Version="10">
<actionmap name="mech">
  <action name="m_decreaseThrottle">
   <rebind device="keyboard" input="mwheel_down" index="0" defaultInput="s"/>
  </action>
  <action name="m_increaseThrottle">
   <rebind device="keyboard" input="mwheel_up" index="0" defaultInput="w"/>
  </action>
</actionmap>
</ActionMaps>

this worked for me. is there a way to increase the rate of throttle? is that what the index value is for?
