I previously used FS95 which offers the function "use the mouse as stick". Is there a possibility of doing the same in FS2002 ?

Hi frsptz. The mouse can no longer be used to control the aircraft except with the clickable gauges on the panels. Copied from start.pdf in the FS2002\HELP folder.



I suggest a decent joystick with separate rudder function would make the experience much more realistic & enjoyable.

I acknowledge your reply that makes me look a bit more to the user's manual !!!

It claims it's "A gauge to use the mouse as a 'joystick' (as in the old days, or with a notebook)."

I haven't tried it so I couldn't say.

frsptz. Please don't think I was trying to make a point. FS2002 Help is not particularly user-friendly & certainly doesn't cover everything. I just happen to know my way around it.

WebbPA's gauge looks interesting & might be the answer to your immediate problem.

To Hagar: thanks for this new message. To WebbPA:thanks to you, I found and downloaded pads.zip. To both: I will tell you nextly if it works !!
