How and Why! Mouse Look Issue

[megs8888]

Hi Pete hope the holidays were enjoyable?

Anyway if anyone can assist, I had FSX running great with mouse look assigned in FSUIPC all entries are cleared in FSX. I go out for a few hours come home and now no mouse look? It doesn't work tried to reset option and reboot etc etc please help as I love this option. Many thanks in advance. Wayne.

Ps latest Fsuipc installed and mouse works ok.

I need more information I'm afraid. Are you using the FSUIPC_Loader at all? You say "latest version" but what is the actual version number please? "Latest version" doesn't really mean too much.

A glance at your FSUIPC4.INI file might help too.

Hi Peter, thanks for the reply I replaced the ini file and its all working again, it happens after I install aerosoft airbus x, so that has been uninstalled. it somehow removed the mouse look option eventhough that was ticked still in miscellaneous. Thanks Wayne.

Hmm. Very odd.

I'm trying to find a work-around for the mouse look being clobbered when the FSUIPC Loader is used. I feel that if I can solve that then it may make it more robust against other things. Not got anywhere yet though. I can't really find out why the Loader makes any difference. Must be some sort of timing thing, but nailing it is difficult!

The only thing i can do is install Airbus again then send you fsuipc.ini if that helps. Wayne

I doubt that installing the Airbus changes FSUIPC's INI. That wouldn't make sense.

If anyone still has a problem with FSUIPC4's MouseLook facility not working, or working inconsistently, please download this interim version and try it. Let me know, please:

It's taken two days solid to find a work-around which seems to fix the issue when the FSUIPC loader is used. I'm hoping that the issue experienced by some even without the Loader is similar so that the same fix works for that too.

Let me know.

Will do Pete give me a few days as I had to buy a new motherboard so fresh install time. Also a quick one I get a blue banner come up saying taxiing and flying without ruder control may be difficult all the time any ideas? I have all settings done in fsuipc none in FSX. Wayne.

Evidently you have flying tips turned on, and FSX doesn't know you have rudder assigned in FSUIPC -- how can it?

Ah OK i understand now, i like the tool tips sometimes come in handy, there is no way around it then either tool tips on then get this banner or off wont get it correct?
