Controlling the swoop bike is a difficult task for many (including me.) I noticed that, when on the swoop, you can make the bike actually face left and right by using the keys that are bound to left and right. The problem is that controls of the keyboard (expect foward and backwards) doesn't turn the swoop fast enough thus forcing the player to use the mouse. If somehow I can alter the swoop and make it more responsive to the left and right keys, I can make driving easier (well, for me.) But I don't know exactly what files to edit.
(sorry for the crude explanation)
Here's a file called swoop in the vehicle folder of ext_data:
Swoop data may be in the JA SDK. I gotta check.
But what I need is more efficent and faster turning of the swoop using the keys as using the mouse.![[http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]](http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif "http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif")
