To celebrate this Christian festive season Absolute Territory is at a historic low price with 50% off. A few sceptics believe Absolute Territory to be a run-of-the-mill arcade game (point to where you want to go) due to the help of the flight assist computer that is used to correct trajectories. Well, now you can turn it off, removing all velocity limits, and fling yourself off into the deep deep cold of space. For greater control (and now adding true 6 axis of freedom) a toggle for the throttle to slip it into reverse has been added. The new controls (Toggle flight computer, and reverse thrust) are not bound, as whenever I release an update with new default controls it breaks players existing control bindings. With that said, if you find you controls are now working, reset your bindings from within the Controllers and Key Bindings menu.2.3.0 Patch NotesDec 22, 2021 - Community Announcements2.3.0 Release (20211222) Overview Flight Assist can be turned off for a 'float mode' experience.

If you enable Track IR the experience may be sub-par or entirely broken. I will do my best to work with any Track IR users willing to be guinea pigs and provide relevant feedback towards improving the implementation. That is no guarantee that Track IR will become an official feature in the game and I reserve the right to abandon any further development on it. Enabling Track IR The command-line argument "-trackir" will be needed, I recommend you create a shortcut to the Standard game exe on your desktop and add the argument in the target box as exampled below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35602730/61c4fa62d53f2379c8b702650394045c67cd0569.png Final hours of saleAug 18, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsThe Absolute Territory sale has gone into it's final hours.
