GRoss Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Hi all, Just downloaded DCS after many, many years away from flight sims. Fired it and it runs, sounds and looks great. Getting re-familiarized with the controls again and realized that the mouse look is buggered. What I mean is the more I seem to look around the cabin or the outside view, the worse it would get. It seems to degrade specifically when looking towards left/right-back. E.g. inside the cabin, it starts looking like a bit of a lean animation. That seems to be the view which also starts causing issues in the outside view as well. The interesting thing is that resetting the view (5 on number pad) seems to fix the issue temporarily, until it comes back again. The issue is really around speed of mouse movement vs view movement. Initially 1x mouse movement = 1x view movement. But as the issue progresses, 1x movement could be 0.1x view movement or 10x view movement. There are also specific angles/etc where the view would tend to get stuck... I never recall having such issues in old DCS: A-10c, KA-52, F-15, IL-2 or any other flight sims. I also don't have any move/view related issues in any other games. This is a standard USB mouse - nothing fancy. Does anyone else have this issue? I've looked around and saw a bunch of old posts around mouse refresh rates and such, but I do not have any software that comes with the mouse to control that + don't think this is a hardware issue. Seems like a software bug/etc where they are trying to create more difficult areas to look at due to head/neck movement? Is there a way to turn this off? ===== PS. simple steps to reproduce in F2 (external view): Press F2 Press Numpad 5 to reset the view Move the mouse horizontally on the mouse pad - no issues with the view Move the mouse so to view the aircraft from the back/side Move the mous e to observe the aircraft from the back half - either/both sides/top/bottom Expected: camera/view moves smoothly Actual: camera/view begins to 'catch' or slow-down around certain points. Sometimes it stutters. This is present in both su-25 frogfoot and p-51 (free aircraft) in the DCS world steam edition version 2.5.5.3561 (downloaded & installed few days back from steam). Thanks!
GRoss Posted September 12, 2019 Author Posted September 12, 2019 Also note - I do not have a VR/track IR/etc system connected at this time. As a matter of fact I do not have a joystick currently either - simple keyboard and mouse for now. Getting a joystick in the next few days + DCS F16C, however unless I can resolve this issue, I might re-think this as at it's current state, the view system is unusable :(
