Keep mouse in place when turning knobs

[HoneyBadger]

Currently, when you turn a knob, it will move your cursor. I find this very unintuitive and I feel it would be better if the mouse stayed place when doing the turning motion.

The mouse moves because you don't have to turn the mouse wheel, You can left click on the knob and drag your mouse up/down to rotate the knob.

I would like to see this too

User has already learned that when ever they move the mouse, the cursor does move. This is one the challenge for beginners in FPS games where your crosshair doesn't move but your view does when you move mouse, but quickly they adapt that mouse movement does opposite (cursor still, everything else moves).

 

The rotaries, knobs etc are like any other button, mouse cursor that is visible and used to operate cockpit should always move when mouse moves. This is because your hand has moved so you can see where the new position is and how much it has moved from the position you clicked something.

 

If the mouse cursor would be locked to place while you move mouse, it would be unintuitive action as visual feedback, mouse cursor position by hand muscle memory would be gone and you would end up to have mouse cursor at different position than where you actually moved mouse.

 

While there is logic that if you have multiple knobs near by that you need to adjust all in series that mouse cursor would stay in same place, it should be made so that you use a mouse wheel to the action instead mouse movement. So click left button and use wheel to make adjustment and it would be fine.

 

So if something, it could be a option in gameplay settings to enable a "lock mouse cursor in place for knobs" feature.

More control options is always welcomed. That way no-one has to change from the current system if they don't want to and those who do can have their preferred control method.
