Re: MOUSE VIEW

You know vully, I hope your not too busy ranting about how great this system is to the world to listen to other peoples opinions. You may not have insulted anyone, but you were sure as heck condescending. This system may be the future, it may give you a huge advantage to gamers everywhere, we all have are agreements and disagreements about it.

I think I would never use it, gaming is perfect the way it is for now, and unless they are going to jump to the holodeck from Star Trek TNG next year, I am not interested in this system. It would not even be compatible with the 2142 gaming engine. So lets just get back on topic and talk about why we want to have Mouse look in FS. I know your going to get offensive from my previous comments, so fire away.

Re: MOUSE VIEW

Mouse look in FS would be great for both infantry and aircraft.  The key element is situational awareness.  Just a simple glance left or right can make the difference in a dogfight and can help you judge distances from targets, thus preventing over shooting and going round in circles.  Highly annoying and probably my only gripe I have for BF1942 mods.  i.e. Eve Of Destruction, Desert Combat.  yes these mods had mouse look but it was reversed controls so didn't feel comfortable to use in a heated situation.  Galactic Conquest however was fine with the controls naturally forward.

LekLan most people dismiss track IR as they are under the false assumption its awkward and you have to look away from the screen.  When in fact it feels very natural and adds a new dimension.  I regret trying it out.  My friend has one and I played a hefty session with the device.  Now at home on my computer, without the thing I feel handicapped.  Like losing the mouse and having to use keyboard only.  It really is that good guys.

Re: MOUSE VIEW

Either way. I think with mouselook it would improve the gaming ability of the player in a vehicle. Nothing against Track IR, but maybe some people prefer old-school gaming instead of turning their heads...I know I do just fine without it because when I'm in 'the zone' my head doesn't move all that much and I still have really good situational awareness. This isn't about other controllers though, it's about why we would want mouselook in FS. I think it'd bring a little of all the BF games to the mod, and improve it for those who like the entire series.

I hope you guys do, and I also hope we are locked in cockpit view... Then use mouse look to see around you, just like in hte movies the Xwing pilots couldn't see the TIEs in back of them because of the bulky fuselage behind them...

And also gives us a chance to look at the pretty cockpits that are made smile

I love that idea! You don't see pilots hovering just above their ion engines in the movies!!

Re: MOUSE VIEW

So... to revive this thread, why was mouselook not included in the mod? I sorely miss it in space combat scenarios, where it's very annoying to have to turn your fighter to see what's to the side of you. External views actually don't help as they're only good for seeing what's behind you.

So I say that if it's possible to do so, implement mouselook for all fighters in the game in the next patch. It'll make maneuvering in space so much easier.
