📋 About This Mod
Since the initial release of No Man's Sky, I always got confused by the Exocraft steering scheme.
Why would I need to move the mouse where I want to go ? (answer : gamepad is what we are supposed to use to play NMS)
No other game i know does that. Why didn't they use a standard WASD control scheme as every game ?
Well, the answer is they do... but only as an invisible option !
So this mod enables this option and finaly uncouples mouse move from exocraft steering.
You can now drive straight and look around your exocraft as you cross the magnificent landscape of a distant planet.
This mod has been updated for Worlds Part 2 new modding scheme
