Mouse as Yoke and Views

[RHinNC]

Not working for me at all. Just downloaded the latest logitech drivers for
my MX1000 Laser mouse.

I can not use the mouse as a yoke, nor use the mouse in the 3D and Spot view
to pan.

Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks

DUH!!!!

Ever since version 1 of FS I have used the keyboard to fly FS. Although I do
have a yoke and a FF joystick I just prefer the keyboard.

So the reason I could not use my mouse as a yoke or change views was because
I did not have a controller selected! Duh. Once I checked the nice graphical
button viola it works.

I might add, I think I will start flying with the mouse. Very, very smooth!
And nice to just hit the spacebar to look around. Sweet.

The keyboard can actually be handy for predictability of control in
certain situations, particularly instrument flight. Of course, it's
quite a departure from real life, but if you are mainly interested in
flying by instruments and gentle maneuvers rather than VFR, it can
work quite well. I used the keyboard to fly FS for around 15 years,
and I only recently switched to a joystick (mainly in order to be able
to fly VFR more easily, and to make it easier to use the rudder
independently, which is extremely awkward with a keyboard).

I presume you are using FSX. FS 200x stopped supporting the mouse as
yoke, but apparently FSX has reimplemented it.
