Re: Mouse control does not stop moving
Interesting.  I wonder what in the MS KB+Mouse center was causing this?

I am guessing that this was one of the new features they added, or they changed something in the mouse driver that caused it to act as a joystick or something like that.

It really felt like an off centered joystick.
Once I played with it and managed to "Center" it, the ship stopped moving (almost, it was very hard to center)

I got suspicious when trying to debug, and the logs came up short.
Then I tried running the original FreeSpace 2 I have installed. No launcher/mods.
Same results.

As this is the only game on my machine, I could not verify it with any other game, but this was only during the game itself.
Then I remembered that in the old days (very old days) with my first joystick, this happened to me when the stick was not centered.
Since there are not "Center" keys on the mouse, I thought it was worth trying to remove the mouse drivers.

BTW, I am using the Win 7 64bit drivers and not the Win 8.1 driver. These seemed to cause this issue (the MS center).
