Dumb_As_Toast Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Howzit folks. First I'd like to say that I'm new to DCS and to the forums and that I'm excited to be a (small) part of this amazing project! Secondly, I've got a question which I hope someone can help me with. Dunno if I'm just being dumb or what but I would love to have this sorted out because it will make life a helluva lot easier mid-mission! I love the ability to look around the cockpit and outside with the mouse, along with being able to adjust seat height and zoom using the scroll wheel. But here's the killer: how can I retain all this functionality AND be able to click on various switches around the pit as and when required? Is it a huge process to set up, or is there a simple function under the options menu I have to set to get this sorted? Any and all help would be appreciated.

Scarge Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Pretty sure pressing Control and C switches between mouse look on and off, then you should be able to click just fine. Just remember to hit Control C after you are done if you want mouse look back on. The night is dark and full of terrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember to hit Control C after you are done if you want mouse look back on. Yes, you can do that also with middle mouse button double click (imho more convenient than keyboard), but the question was how to look around with mouse while being able to click without switching the mouse mode. ;) I too wish for this to be in DCS as an option. ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle0110 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Actually we had that mouse click and pan mode when it was back to DCSBS1. But it was a terrible experience to use...

Dunno mate, would make my life MUCH easier TBH, but for now I'm coping with the keyboard shortcuts (I thank Photoshop and Illustrator for this!). I think it should be a feature in DCS World which you can switch on and off in the options menu. Everybody has their own opinions and preferences, but that's what makes life awesome! Thanks for all the other replies btw.
