activating mouse control

Post by jeffron »

I finally have a mouse, but the "configure joystick" option is not available. The game doesn't recognize the mouse. Anyone want to help me out with a tip?
Tell me again why I've got to drink three pints?

It would help if you would tell us what type of computer you have, which OS, and which version of Oolite you're running.

By the way, for questions concerning a specific OS, there are sub-forums for Windows, Mac and Linux on this board. Posting in one of them instead of the very generic "General Discussion" forum would already give us one important information.

Did you try these: ?

Shift-M enables the mouse with pitch/roll,
Ctrl-Shift-M enables the mouse with pitch/yaw.

Once enabled, Shift-M again turns off mouse control.
