No Mouse Control?

[jonrandall]

In older FS versions I used to be able to control movement of the aircraft using the mouse. I can't seem to get the mouse to control the aircraft even though it is marked as the default controller?

Have you checked the mouse bindings under "controls" to see what has been allocated in the default settings?

 

Perhaps the key bindings aren't what you are used to?

Even a simple flight stick isn't that expensive - heck - you're even better off with a gamepad! Why on God's earth would you want to fly with a mouse?

I went in to controls and looked for bindings but I don't understand what thy are? I must have 10,000 hours in previous versions and never had a problem with the mouse or any other controller being recognized. One thing I noticed when I was in controls is that there is a Microsoft mouse pictured as the default, my mouse is an ASUS. Probably not an issue.

Hi Jon,

I had a similar problem at first when I got my new MSFS and wanted to take a long flight. I use my mouse to look around or to trigger things on screen either in menus or in the cockpit. I couldn't get it working until I looked in the Control menu and saw that my own mouse seemed to be one of the choices but it didn't seem to register the controls I was trying to attach to it. So I switched to the Default Mouse in the menu and Voila! It worked. Maybe this could have been the same for you. Good luck in getting it working.
