When mice can become a problem....

A good day to everybody!

Yesterday I had a seriously weird thing happening in CFS2, among all others.....:rolleyes:

I was test-flying some FM mods I did to Mauro Giacomazzi's Bf109E-4N when, suddenly, my mouse started operating the flight controls together with the joystick. Instead of reaching the propeller pitch control inside the 2d cockpit, my mouse pointer disappeared and started conflicting with my flight controls.

I recently re-installed entirely CFS2, after having had to format my HDD and, obviously I had to re-assign all of my control axis, joystick and rudder pedals. But I haven't touched or seen anything which could have involved the mouse.

I remember seeing a while ago somewhere in CFS2 a selection box where the mouse can be completely excluded from working as a joystick, but last night I could not find it. Or is it accomplished through manually editing the CFS2.cfg file?

Anyone else experienced this headache? Any suggestion, please?

Thank you!

Hi Kelti,

I've not had this problem but you may want to try going into SETTINGS, then CONTROLLER SENSITIVITIES, as the options for the mouse are there.

Hope this helps,

The Mg bf 109 use a dll installed in modules folder (may u don´t have it), that makes work the slats automatically, try to remove it (if u have it)
Other: I had some trouble year ago with my joystick, my throtle fell under 75% with spitfires (strange doesn´t it?) in the game (not the joystick) . I found the problem! was SUITPC, so I had to remove it losing catapult.
hope this help in some way.
cheers Mario
 
Found it!

Thanks everybody!

I found it and it's not in the "Settings" section, very fortunately, because it was not a permanent change. When I restarted CFS2 last night everytyhing was back to normal but I was not satisfied, because I wanted to know what went wrong for the possible next time.

I checked all the pull-down menus of the in-flight windows and still I could not find an option to make the mouse act as a joystick, when I inadvertedly clicked the right button on my mouse, activating the usual Windows context small menu. The option was right there, at the bottom of the context menu and in front of my eyes.

I use a Logitech optical mouse and its buttons are very sensitive. The slightest pressure, even one caused by a relaxation of the hand, and the mouse goes "click!", with all the obvious consequences.

This is what must have happened the other night.

Cheers!
