And to think, Lazs was chastised for mocking the mouse wielders, whom evolution is now weeding out.

^^^^ Not helping a lot mate ^^^^

At one point in beta, they'd said you'd have to have a stick to play, and that mice/touchpads wouldn't be supported. They caved, and that's good for you lot, but squealing about mouse control in a flight sim... tough to call that a priority. Just saying.

[Kazaa]

Just read the release notes.

"Using a mouse as a flight controller now requires you to hold down the left mouse button to make control inputs."

Seem like a fix to you lol.

I see your point HOF, but a lot of players in AH including myself still play with a mouse & if I wanted to play using a joystick I would like to choose to do it & not be forced to.

I have an X52, which I am warming up as we speak. But because I play a lot of FPS games the mouse will work so much better for me then A joy stick would !

The mouse is one of the easiest input devices to map, it may not be a priority to someone like yourself, but it would only take a jiffy to rectify & would make a lot of people happy.

P.S: Like I said before, It’s in HTC best interest to work something out. Do you think every newbie to the game has a joystick ? So do you think this might be a priority after all ?

I tried a mouse 1 time--it sucked.  Within 2 hours I had a $20 joystick from the nearest electronics store--I still sucked but at least the joystick worked

Each to their own mate, but back to the issue at hand.

If you don't have a joystick, then why play a flight simulation game?


I always thought that a joystick was THE MOST important part and REQUIRED!

PuuuuuuLEASE!   HiTech, fix Kazaa's mouse.  I don't want to die at his hands using a STINKING joystick!   I've grown to revere his tried and true method of killing me.

Please, please, please don't handicap the Great and Powerful KAZAA!

I'm a mouse flyer and ahev always been, find it easier to control the plane, more responsive and less "imposing" than a stick.

I own a stick and have been trying to get the hang of it offline for ages, but sometimes people just get set in their ways.

I'd never ridicule anyone for using a joystick, so its funny how people in here are quick to attack mousers for being different!

Anyway, u "sticks" are waaaay better than us cos u use a joystick so why whinge, we are, after all, merely another target/kill for you to pop!

It works for us and has been supported, and is now by the statment in the release notes but in a way that is completely impossible to manage.

Be nice to hear the reasoning behind this mod and also if anyone at HTC tried flying with it too.

Smiggy.

1) I respect the era with a passion and like many of you guys I had  
    grandparents that served in WW2.

2) Many players are adamant that J-sticks are required to get you
    anywhere in the game and are bemused to      
    hear that I fly with A HOMAK lol (Hands On Mouse And Keyboard ) It's  actually really nice setup.

    Also many other players are really good with the mouse too.

    AH has been mouse friendly since I started playing and  I guess many
    years before that. So I guess it’s not the only input device you can use.

Well.... on the issue of mouse flying... and before everyone jumps me - i do have a joystick and i use it (and theres NO pun intended there).

Yes, even a cheap JS will give you more control then mouse (usually - this is no jab at you Kazaa, as has been said before, to each his own). But ive seen many people - not only eleven years old that downloaded the game without their parents knowing - in the TA that flew mouse on their first few days. Just to check out if they like the game before going ahead and buying a Joystick. I would like to know what i spend money for beforehand, too. For those people its even harder now to find some first day enjoyment to incite them to get addicted and stay.

Besides, i do not see any advantages to the new system. Except maybe less cries about "my mouse is broke, it doesnt move!!!". Theyll probably be replaced now with "my plane wont ******* turn"......


So id also like to see it changed back.
