Hi Stuart, thanks for the improvements! Checking the diff I do wonder if you removed the "Microsoft SideWinder Precision Racing Wheel (rudder) pedals" line on purpose? Vivian added this one in March... https://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata/commit/9dcb78c2248 Cheers, Gijs -- See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.

That's because of strange performance problems loading the file on Windows, which someone on a Windows box needs to investigate if they want this feature enabled. There's a one-line #ifdef to enable if you wish to experiment.

Second (and that's less relevant) - old mode is quite a deep habit, and if I just fall back to what I was used to while in a helicopter, I end up being so dead and crashed. I think in general the new style is superior, especially if you're a joystick user - so I would tend to make the new behaviour default, I think mouse-only control is a minority position and doesn't need to be default as long as we keep the old style optionally. * Thorsten -- See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
