2.08 Mouse 2nd Attempt
« on: June 02, 2006, 08:18:17 AM »
Pyro, Hitech & Skuzzy,

I’m going to be nice & start this thread again, please could you sort out the issue with the mouse as I’m unhappy with what you have done.

I know whining doesn’t get you anywhere, so I’m going to try & be more constructive & polite just like Tex said. :aok

Thank you Kaz

IMO since a lot of guys seem to first start playing the game with a mouse, it would be prudent to make it as easy as possible.

With this in mind it would seem the pre-patch way of doing it was much simpler than it is now.
Also didn't require you to be a Zaphod Beeblebrox.

I think its meant to be

Thank you, Kaz,   :) (Im not sure though ;))




And very politley (as I already stated in different threads about this topic) i agree. Why changing something that apparently worked fine and so making things more difficult for some people?

Im pretty sure HT did have something in mind besides just annoying a few players when he implemented the new system. And im also sure he already noticed the - errr..... unhappiness  it created.... Im sure theyll reflect their options again and make the decision they know is best for the game, as they always do.

You better start now, once you get in you will see that nothing that you had set up will work, you will have to figure out how to remap all your settings. Was kinda of a bummer trying to drop bombs and not being able to select them let alone drop em. :aok

Navajo read the README and allow yourself an hour to format your joystick, though it will likely take you half that time.

Personally I find the new IU much more user friendly. Just takes a few minutes to muddle through the changes.

I tried flying mouse last night, it wasn't exactly my most enjoyable time in AH. I was unable to set my throttle to my scroll wheel. Even though I could not set my throttle, I wanted to up and see how the P38 was performing. I had to use shift+= to go full throttle, and could not use the - key to throttle down. I used shift+- to make my engines idle. The only way I could fly around without being at max power was to lower RPM (which doesn't work too well when trying to fight). I was able to get a couple kills, but only through the opponent's errors. I got in a fight 2v1 I would normally have won, but I was having too much trouble with my throttle. I had to let go of the left button in order to throttle down, then I would just fly straight for a second while lowering throttle. Then when I wanted to change it back I had to let go again.

When I tried mapping throttle to the scroll wheel in tower, on runway my engines went to full power and only way I could lower power was to cut engines off.
