Comment: added warning re: mixed input devices and bi-directional throttle

...

If Bi-directional throttle is off, how do you move the ship in reverse?  It is possible to map a control to invert the axis controlling the throttle.  With this key held down, moving the control forward would apply full reverse thrust rather than full forward thrust.  At the moment, this is only mapped for the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog stick.

IMPORTANT: Remember that bi-directional throttle is a setting that is used for all of your input devices.  So if using a joystick which requires bi-directional throttle off (such as an analog throttle device with no center notch) with another input device that requires bi-directional throttle on (such as a gamepad or the Oculus Touch), your configuration settings may conflict.  For example: if set to off, you would move a throttle device to the very back of its axis to make the ship stop.  However, when activating the Oculus Touch at this point, your ship will start moving forward at half-speed.

Strafe

Strafe controls apply the ship's thrusters to directly move the ship up, down, left, or right without changing the ship's attitude.  These thrusters are completely independent of the ship's engines, and can be operated while the ship is already in motion.
