[Flightgear-devel] Mouse patch

2006-02-16 Thread polly 

With respect,
  The new mouse seem a little disconcerting, it jumps after only 25  
percent movement
from center to mid screen. I use the mouse ( exclusively) too and I've  
found that
reducing sensitivity to about 1.2 works for me, allowing large easy hand  
movement
without inadvertant barrel rolls and more importantly without muscle  
tremor that fine
control seems to aggravate. This setting does however tend to use a lot of  
pointer travel.
  Would you consider putting the 'mouse jump' closer to the screen edges,  
say at
95 percent ?  Even better would be some log-sensitivity roll off at the  
edges
so the mouse never trangressed while near the edges senitivity  
progressively

increases.

  Thanks and appreciation to all,   Polly

[Flightgear-devel] Mouse patch

2006-02-15 Thread David Megginson 
I've just checked in a patch to change the mouse behaviour in modes
where the 'constrained' property is true (e.g. control mode and view
mode).  Previously, the 'constrained' property actually caused the
mouse to wrap around to the other side of the screen when it hit an
edge, causing huge opposite-direction changes in the control and view
positions.  I may be the only one here who ever tries to fly a plane
using the mouse, but I've lost control once too often this way (and
it's also unpleasant having the view messed up).

The patch constrains the mouse to stay between 25% and 75% on the X
and Y axes in the special mouse modes (no effect on pointer mode);
when it hits a limit, it simply jumps back to the centre.  Now, if you
move the mouse continuously to the left in view mode, for example, the
view will keep panning to the left, rather than suddenly jumping
somewhere unexpected.  It still doesn't seem to be working perfectly,
but it's better than before.

Let me know if anyone objects.  When I first did this a few years ago,
Norman Vine was adamant that it was the wrong behaviour, for reasons
that I no longer remember.


All the best,


David
