Can you toggle over to mouse flight control?
« on: January 23, 2018, 11:12:20 AM »
There are times when I want to move my HOTAS off my desk and fly a bomber with a mouse.  Is there any way to toggle over to do that, without unplugging my HOTAS?

Use modes and set up a flight control mode for mouse flying.

I tried setting up Mode 3 for mouse flying and it didn't work.  I went to Controls / Map Controllers, selected the controller to be "Mouse", and then selected Mode 3 and mapped the inputs.  It no workee.

I got it to work.  I needed to map a key to switch to Mode 3.  Works great now.
