Mouse taking over joystick

Post by TipsyWunderbear » Sat, 13. Apr 13, 14:14

I am very new to this game and am using a joystick for flight control and mouse/keyboard for menus! The problem I am having is that my guns keep following the mouse instead of firing straight ahead. (How many hands does the game think I've got?) This mean I have to visually return the mouse pointer to centre every time I use it! Annoying as hell!
Any ideas how to disable this?

Press space bar to turn on/off mouse follow mode.

Nope! That doesn't work! Guns still track mouse!

there are two 'fire' commands: boresight fire (default both CTRL buttons), and the other one, which fires at the cursor.

Make sure the fire button on your joystick is assigned to boresight fire, i suspect this is the problem.

side note: you probably know, but if you have fight software mk2, turn on auto-aim, it auto corrects within your guns tracking range when using boresight firing.
