Flying by mouse question
« on: June 19, 2026, 04:42:15 PM »
My joystick broke and I gonna try flying by mouse in the FSO tonight. 

I vaguely remember that when using the mouse to fly, there was a way to point to where you wanted your plane to go.  Is that still available? How do I turn it on?

Thanks.

I would disable “Enhanced pointer precision” on the mouse in Windows settings.

 :joystick: Ok, the mouse thing is nuts.  I practiced very little.  And FSO was basically fly toward red guys then panic.  Hats off to you who fly with a mouse.  I really really hope my new T16000M stick arrives tomorrow.

Flying isn't too hard but fighting is nearly impossible until you reprogram your habits.
