I have messed with all the settings, but can't figure out what's going on. I'm using a ps2 style controller and have L1/L2 as ascend and descend, and R1/R2 as accelerate/decelerate. Whenever I'm ready to go, I punch it holding R1 and L1, but then my thrusters turn back to vertical after about half a second and I come to a stop. This leaves me a sitting duck in many cases, and can't be the intended mechanic. Any suggestions are welcome.
