Try Star Citizen FOR FREE until 25th October!

   Hi gang!

If any of you have been following the progress of Star Citizen (or been curious about it every now and then) but not yet pledged and played it, CIG have put on a Fly Free 'Week' following the CitizenCon presentation on the 10th October, meaning that you can try out ALL flyable Star Citizen ships FOR FREE until the 25th of October.

So, if you would like to give it a try before you buy, go to the following link and follow the instructions to get set up. Simply use the code CITCONFLIGHT2K15 and you're off!

If you do, and you encounter issues or need help orienting yourself (I suggest that you read the latest SC Manual), then let us know here and we will see what we can do to help you get going.

And for those of you already signed up, the above code works for you as well, so you can fly ALL flyable ships too!

Enjoy!

Saw this (while I was at the LAN).

I have downloaded the game - although it had a bit of trouble running itself multiple times and corrupting the updater - and looks good, BUT.... got to the Arena Commander flight tutorial and there are no keys mapped. Tried to map some and/or HOTAS but nothing works.

Any quick tips for why the controls don't appear to be set up?

There is a known bug with the Flight Tutorial in that is doesn't always show the keys that have been mapped, so you may have fallen foul of that.

Have you selected your HOTAS from the list in the Options menu?  You need to do that, and probably restart the game for it to take effect.  If that doesn't work, then it's probably the above bug.

There should be a new patch released to the PTU later this week, so hopefully we will get that next week and hopefully the tutorial bug will have been fixed.

Cool. Thanks for the info,
