Do you prefer to use '''roll''' (left and right arrows) or '''yaw''' (''',''' and '''.''') when flying your ship?

The early versions of [[Classic Elite]] only had '''roll''' and '''pitch'''. The '''yaw''' option came in rather later. Thus, many of the long-standing players of Oolite who began with Elite in their halcyon days internalised rolling as the alternative to pitching in manoeuvering their craft. So do many who have actually flown - whether flight sims, real gliders, or something larger!

Those who have come more recently to Oolite often find that yaw is more instinctive to their gaming.

Many of the long-standing players of Oolite who began with Elite in their halcyon days had already internalised rolling as the alternative to pitching in manoeuvering their craft.

 Those who have come more recently to Oolite often find that yaw is more instinctive to their gaming (although this debate ran for a several years before yaw was introduced).
 Note that Oolite itself favours roll over yaw (better manoeuvering with yaw) - and some oxp's such as [[Hard Way#Turn rate in yaw/pitch channels|Hard Way]] emphasise this even more.
