Hello all,
I just downloaded the latest version of AH2, and it seems to be running a bit better for me than previous versions.
I'm in the process of mapping controls which i know will take some time to get comfortable with.
I've been able to figure a lot of it out by reading some of the bulletins and other help pages but i keep stumbling over the mouse pan views which is the setting i've preferred to use with other simulators and games.
Maybe someone here can help me make sense of the views and settings so that i can get them configured how i'd like them.
What i'm trying to do is pan with the mouse, but only when the left mouse button is pressed. When the left mouse button is released the mouse view returns to the center position.
I was able to tool around with the settings and got this to work, but when i later returned to the game something changed because instead of remaining centered, the mouse moved around regardless of whether i pressed the left button. I was also getting twitching and shaking as though the mouse view moves to another angle for a split second and then returns to where my mouse is pointing. There is no hat switch or keys mapped to act as a hat switch.
I'm trying to figure out what changed or how to get it so that the mouse stays centered unless i use the left button.
Here's what i have so far:
The mouse axi are mapped to the pitch and yaw views
The left mouse button is mapped to the "mouse hold" key so that the mouse input is read only while held.
I've also played with "preferences/views" settings and from what i can figure the mouse snap views needs to be unchecked, and starting in mouse view needs to be checked unless i press "shift M" at the beginning of the sortie.
I also pressed the "tracker move" key which got the mouse moving around the very first time i used the game, but i haven't figured out its placement or roll for configuring the mouse pan the way i'm trying to get it.
I figure a veteran player or someone using similar settings can help me out.
thanks and hopefully i can get airborne soon.
Bill
