Title: Flying with mouse
Post by: Duedel on January 27, 2003, 07:58:54 AM

We want to play AH at work. The problem is we dont have joysticks here. Anybody has any suggestions how to calibrate and fly with mouse?

You select "Mouse" option in Setup, Duedel:

Here (http://www.hitechcreations.com/frameset1.html?helphom.html) - Game Setup/joystick selection

Controlling bombers/GV's/Boats are a little easier than the fighters.

On my work machine, the mouse works per default (no joy connected)

It doesn't give a good impression of gameplay though...

Back to curing my hangover ;)

I use a mouse - and the default setup for dampening etc. is what I still use today - there is 1 problem. If you connect a JS and use AH with it - then disconnect the JS to use the mouse on the same CPU - the mouse is very hard to get set back up - I usually end up having to reinstall AH (takes 5 minutes w/DL) and everything is back to normal

I'd like to play AH at work too.... hey, it would beat typing and dealing with pesky customers!  Mind you, I probably wouldn't have a job for long if I did, and no money to pay to play at home as a result!  :rolleyes:
