Alright, so I finally loaded up FS2 on my new PC ... I don't have a joystick (right now) and definitely don't want to use just the keyboard for piloting ... so naturally, I want to use the mouse.

Has anyone ever had problems setting up FS2 to use a USB mouse?? I can control it in the briefings and stuff ... but as soon as I get in-game, the mouse won't work. I'm using the default setup for controls ...

I had the same problem when I first installed fs1. I never use joysticks.

I used to use a joystick, but I hate recalibrating it daily, if it isn't more frequent...

Me... I prefer joystick... but unfornately, the port for my joystick is already taken for my wireless mouse and keyboard... so I had to adapt to using mouse... trust me... it wasn't easy....
