Ok so I figured out that I DO have mouse control, its just on the completely RIGHT side of the screen when looking through the rift. I cant figure out how to align it with what Im looking at.
the only other way to get mouse control is to turn on the rift after the game has loaded, but then there is no 6DOF but the mouse lines up with the controls. kind of 6 in one and half a dozen in the other.
EDIT: Ok I figured out how to get Mouse control. You must make the RIFT the primary monitor. That how ever makes it very difficult to see what scenario you are setting up. but once in the game/rift you can now move the mouse around and click on the cockpit.
