I've had an ongoing problem with my Logitech Extreme 3DPro. It de-calibrates in between missions. No clue what's going on, and I've sent a request to Logitech to replace it. Seeing as how that's not likely to happen, I have resorted to using my mouse, only to find great difficulty because FSO doesn't truly support it. I cannot bind my keys properly. It only recognizes button 1, and button two. I have an Intellipoint Explorer 4.0 (model 1004) and it has the scroll button/wheel as well as the two side buttons on the left.
Now ideally, it'd be great to have a mouse with a toggle hat to do all of those things (but I'm probably going to be tearing my joystick apart and making a mouse/joystick toggle hat gaming blasphemy). However, even being able to bind the two left buttons would be great. So I can equalize shields and drop countermeasures. And being able to adjust sensitivity and have some sort of holding option so where when you point one direction by moving your mouse that direction, it keeps going that direction instead of you having to pick your mouse up and re-roll it across your pad.
I mean... what happens if I run out of mousepad, right? I'll have to order more mousepads or reset my computer!
Is there anything like this on this site? And also, where can I find the "velocity" mod that I've heard about (assuming it allows you to strafe a la B5/Tachyon/BSG physics).
