I love this game and encourage everyone to play it as a two player: one as flying the other working keyboard.
But has anyone had the problem of not being able to accelerate after lowering speed? I'm pretty sure there is at least 1 mission that will require this and I can't seem to get the thrust back up once I slow up. Any help would be appreciated
I have tried to use the mouse to increase speed, but that only seems to work when you steer with the mouse and I would rather use the keyboard.
any help here?
I see some folks claim to have finished the game with the keyboard only, so there must be a way.

Never experienced this problem. Are you using the + and - keys on the num pad? Not sure how well the keys between the 0 and backspace keys will work, if at all for this. Seems odd that it isn't working for you.
You don't use the + and - keys. Try with the keys after the 0 on your keyboard.
There is a way to remap keys in Dosbox. I assume you are playing on a laptop? I don't remember the exact command to do it, though. Worth a look.

To clarify, if you are using a laptop, the Dosbox key layout is probably mapped incorrectly. Ie what is + or - on your laptop is not what Dosbox thinks is + or -. This is not a problem with the game. You can tell Dosbox that + is actually + and - is actually -. If you can't find the solution, I'll take a look later when I have time. I'm on a laptop too.

The command is Ctrl+F1. Refer to the Mapper wiki page for specifics on how to use it. :)
Thanks, Arkose. This should allow you to speed up and down with the keyboard.
