I started playing around with DCS three years ago. Last year I purchased the F-15C module. I love the plane, and would really like to have some fun with it, but I'm not a joystick guy.
I always use my G502 mouse in Elite: Dangerous and other flying games. It fits me perfectly. It's relatively cheap and offers quick freelook, pitch and roll. Then for yaw action I use Q and E.
My problem with DCS F15 is that for some unfathomable reason, it is impossible to bind pitch and roll to the mouse.
Now, I don't wish to be rude, but please keep all replies like "DCS is a hardcore sim, only nabs use mice, get a jostick you unwashed filthy casual" to yourself. :thumbup:
I just want to have some fun flying this virtual plane that I bought, and it's quite impossible to do so with keyboard stick controls.
I just find it incredible that the devs did not deem it necessary to allow mouse stick, but thought it was okay for people to tap the arrow keys as an alternative. Millions of people enjoy flying with the mouse, it is not that uncommon. Until I can fly the way I want.....when every other thing under the sun is bindable.... I've wasted my money, and would definitely not invest any more. :helpsmilie:
