Title: Mouse Won't Work (Mac)
Post by: miindgame on September 05, 2012, 03:57:19 pm

I can't get through the training tutorial because mouse movements don't register. The mouse works in all of the menus, but once I'm in the ship and am learning to bank left/right the mouse movements don't register. Any suggestions?

Go into the options screen and there should be an option to use mouse for movement in there that can be toggled on. (Yes I know the legacy FS interface is a bit of a pain...)

Are you talking about the in-game options menu? Yes the mouse is toggled "on", still not working.

By default, the mouse is only used for pitch and yaw (turning left/right). Controlling roll/bank is done from the keyboard. Default keys for rolling left/right are numpad 7/numpad 9. You can change the bindings in the options menu. Hope that helps.

Don't forget that during training the mouse it turned off, it is only enabled after you learn a few of the basics.

I bought a PS3 USB controller, works great on my much slower, older PC version of the game, but does not work with the mac at all. Tried the switch in the launcher and still the two axis controllers both dont work. Anyone have ideas, or suggestions on good joysticks to use with this game and the mac?
