Describe the bug
When you use an afterburner along with your thrusters it seems to lock you out of the ability to turn left, however you can still turn to the right under the same conditions. This has happened to me on both linux and windows versions of the game, and i dont use any plugins.
Steps to Reproduce
- Equip afterburner on your ship, as far as i can tell it doesnt matter which afterburner or engine you use.
- Engage forward thrust
- Engage afterburner
- Attempt to turn left while holding thrust
Expected Behavior
You should be able to turn while at speed, especially since turning right seems to work fine.

Additional Information
No response
Testing with both of those save files on 0.10.6, I am able to turn both left and right while thrusting with normal engines and using the afterburner.
Is it possible that your keyboard is not able to read the forward thrust, afterburner, and turn left keys at the same time?
What happens if you swap the binding of turn left and turn right and try each while thrusting and afterburning?
I dont think its the keyboard just because ive tried it on a couple now but idk. I swapped the bindings and it reversed the issue, so right was locked out and left was fine.
Are you able to turn in both directions while thrusting normally (no afterburner)?
If so, what happens if you bind the afterburner control to the same key as forward thrust and then try turning in each direction with the thrust key held down?
It sounds like a keyboard issue. I used to have a keyboard that did the exact same thing in a different game. Certain keyboards are not able to accommodate certain simultaneous key presses. I used some tester, I can't remember the name of, to confirm it. I'll see if I can find it.
EDIT: Try this one
Yeah, my keyboard, I can't press A Space Up Arrow Left Arrow It doesn't see the Left Arrow but I can press A Space Up Arrow Right Arrow
@Kamikaze4228 Did you remap your 'fire' key to space bar?
If so, what happens if you bind the afterburner control to the same key as forward thrust and then try turning in each direction with the thrust key held down?
Tried this and it did work, also tried the keyboard tester site and confirmed that the boards are the issue. I have another one ill check when i get home but i suspect its the same thing. I appreciate the help!
