I just got the sim and I'm using joystick with hat switch. By default the sim uses the hat switch to look around in the cockpit in the game. Is possible to use my mouse for this function instead ?

Thanks!

LAlt C enables/disables mouse look.

with mouse look enabled you can pan your view with the mouse.

with mouse look disabled you can click on switches/buttons.

Huge disappointment that the mouse look in A-10 doesn't include clickable cockpit like in Black Shark.

My theory is, the developers are getting a percentage of TrackIR sales for cutting that out of the sim. I purchased a TrackIR 5 because of it.

What? Of course it has nothing to do with many controls in the pit having to use both the left and right mouse button and also the mouse wheel on the same dial. The compromise being that you press LATL-C if you want to look around the cockpit.

OMG THEY ARE ALL IN CAHOOTS!!

What? The A10 cockpit is clickable too, so I'm not sure what you mean?

in Black Shark the mouse cursor is active while you are panning. you can click on buttons/switches without having to switch mouse look off.

Track-IR. By far the best investment I have made in sim equipment (and I am using an old TIR 3 with the vector expansion). wink

+1. Best investment, and I paid for the v5 with all the goodies. Never regretted the purchase for a second!
