Mouse controls
« on: March 30, 2008, 01:40:39 PM »
 I am trying to fly and when i move my mouse down to go up, it will climb for a second, then go into a deep spiral drop. :furious
 So if there is a way to prevent this, please reply!

Not alot of info to go on but I'll guess that you're stalling.

After takeoff level the plane and let it build up speed before you begin any maneuvers.

These aren't F16's and it takes a few minutes to reach maximum speed.

Save yourself the headaches and go pick up a saitek stick. I forget what exactly it's called, but it can be had for only $20 bucks I believe.

Try this out if you havent already: http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/mouse/mouse.htm

Also, if you can make it climb with your mouse and then it 'goes into a spiral drop' - then it could be that you have just run out of speed climbing and stalled. Need more info.
