I do, on a yellow Post-It sheet on the computer box. (You might wish to log your last save numbers. Note that if you just docked at a station, your system did an auto-save for you, so if you do crash, you can at least start over from your last docking, then resave as next number up in the base saves, such as 1 thru 7, etc. So, save as much as possible when you make alot of gains in this game. If you crash and burn in space, you lost that activity up until your last save to your crash point. When you wish to save your game, you must be in a Station, docked. You can rotate your views when external by the NumPad keys. Hitting F2 several times cycles you back and forth from front to rear view. Looking around in your pilot position is done with your HAT switch on the joystick (like in FS), or with the NumPad keys, (also like in FS).Įxterior view is F2. Change directions at speed and you slide for a bit then start in the new direction. Sort of like being in a car in a iced over parking lot in Minnesota in the winter. You just aim it and it sort of slides for a moment and then starts heading in the new direction.

These space craft do not 'bank' in a turn. When using a joystick that has rudder pedals or a twist option, this will effect 'roll'. Steering (up and down, left and right) is done with the arrow keys.

Full speed is ~ key and all stop command is Backspace key. Main Thrusters (engines at the rear of your craft) are Z and X keys. To rotate your ship left or right (like a barrel roll along the Z axis, nose to tail), you use Q and E keys. This sideways movement is done with the A and D keys. Side thrusters are good for using when you are getting close to a ship in side to side combat (boarding it) or claiming another ship, ship to ship transporter use for freight, you, personel, etc, etc. S key is great for down thrusting away from a parking dock arm at a station (if you are outside the station and not in a hanger bay. You can use most joysticks with X3TC, but its good to also know the keyboard commands.įirst, you have thrusters that will 'push' your craft sideways, (X axis) as well as up and down (Y axis). Trading will encompass making money by trading goods and selling them at the various stations. Now, when you start out in the game, you have a choice of selecting various types of game play, including fighter pilot, and humble trader. While you are there, you should also turn on 'Show Warptunnel' in Gameplay / Game Settings. In your Gameplay / Game settings, you can adjust the SETA drive from 650% to 1000% which seems to go alot faster. Fighters will be super nimble and tricky at slow speeds. The freighers are more sluggish the bigger they get. Check Food Lovers Specials and Game Specials. Also note each ship flies a bit different. NOTE: It is best to always dock at the stations in AP mode until you are totally familiar with how all the thrusters work in the spacecraft. You can also put your cross hairs on the station and click the T key (targeting and scanning) and the station will be selected, at which point, you can select Shift D and your AP will automatically go to docking approach mode to that station selected. You can click on the station with the mouse and click Shift D, or go through the menu.

When you dock at the Free Trade station, remember to use Autopilot and select Dock At. Once you purchase it and it is installed, when in space flight, click the J key and you will accellerate. You can find your SETA drive at the local Free Trade Station. The SETA engine is a Singularity Engine Time Accellerator which speeds up time during Sector flights, (flights 'within' Sectors).

Next, when you start up X3, you will note usually that you will need to install your SETA drive. If you purchased the Gold pack, you will not have to as your Edition of X3 will already have all the updates.

When you first install X3 and get it running, if you have the PC version, you will want to go to the website and download the 2.5 update. Note that X3 Reunion is slightly different and older then X3TC, so the controls and such will be different, so this thread will deal only with X3TC Setup. This is a Beginners Instructions thread for those that are just getting into X3 Terran Conflict.
