MIA has been optimised to run with the MicrosoftΓ SidewinderΣ series of game controllers and is force feedback compatible. |
You can change the keys if you’re not happy with the defaults. Click on the key that you want to change and then press the key you want for that function. You can have up to two keys for each function.
If you click on the Joystick button, It will go to your Windows Game Controller set up. If you plug in a new joystick during play, you can connect it up through here.
You can have up to 4 different keyboard configurations. Switch between them clicking on the green arrows.
There are 3 default control layouts which can switched between in the Options screen:
Config A - has the standard keyboard layout and default settings for a MicrosoftΓ SidewinderΣ Joystick.
Config B - has an alternative keyboard layout and default settings for a MicrosoftΓ SidewinderΣ Gamepad.
Config C - has an alternative keyboard layout and default settings for a 2 button/2 axis joystick.
N.B. MIA will automatically detect if a MicrosoftΓ SidewinderΣ Force Feedback joystick is connected and control set-up will be the same as MicrosoftΓ SidewinderΣ Joystick.
The default controls have been optimised for efficiency and comfort but are fully configurable in the options screen to suit the player.
There are some other controls that can not be changed but are on the keyboard or the POV hat on the joystick (if available):
