Middle Mouse Button Head Movement

[dresoccer4]

Hey all - i just updated to newest open beta version. I noticed that when in cockpit and i double click my middle mouse button to flip switches, that when i double click the middle mouse button again I can no longer move my head. instead it moves my whole body.

 

has anyone else noticed this change? its really throwing my for a loop as I can no longer easily go between head movement and switch flipping. i'm not sure what to do :helpsmilie:

I think it's always been like this. Simply double click middle button again to go back to cursor mode.

if it moves your whole body, just press the mouse wheel again once and then it will let you move your FOV. It doesn't do this very often but it can happen.

i agree it used to behave like this every once in a while but now it's doing it EVERY time.

 

previous action: double clicking middle mouse button would switch between head ROTATION and button clicking. holding down the middle mouse button would enable head TRANSLATION.

 

new action: begin with mouse moving head ROTATION. double click middle mouse button to flip switches, double click middle mouse button again and mouse movement is stuck with head TRANSLATION.

to get back to normal head rotation i have to either to go outside view and then back into cockpit view. or press and hold middle mouse button, move the mouse a little, and let go.

 

 

can anyone else confirm it's behaving this way so I know it's not just me?

I posted a bug thread for 2.0 in mid-august about this change in functions:

FWIW, this has happened previously too. ED did eventually fix it.

yeah i noticed the weird change in 2.0 as well, however this is the first time i've noticed it in 1.5.

and it's a slightly different bug. have you checked it out?

[dresoccer4]

think there's a way to manually fix this by changing some config files? that would be uh-mazing

bumpin' my old thread. should this be moved to bugs section? it's basically stopping me from playing anymore :(

Still a problem, still making DCS very difficult to use, especially as it's now in the release branch.

 

@ED testers: Is this logged?

 

 

@dresoccer4: We can get around it by using the keyboard shortcut l-alt+c for now.
