Mouse Support!

Just a note to all the freelancer fans out there, there is a way to use freelancer style mouse controls in starlancer! I found a program called 'PPJoy' [parrallel port joystick which is capable of using the mouse to emulate a virtual joystick. It works great, and I just played through the whole campaign using it If you havn't yet played starlancer because you can't stand using the joystick, then get this and have fun. Starlancer is a great game that all freelancers should try at some point.
I dont have an exact address for where to get the app, but just Google it, and I'm sure it wont be hard to find. Enjoy

Edit - Sorry, no smilies allowed in subject line.

Also, there is a current thread in freelancer discussion about Joy Sticks, including a way to get them to work, though not that good. Welcome to lancers reactor.

Mouse support hmm well i still think that a pilot wont sit in a shroud and navigate with a mouse... lets stay realistic they use sticks and that with a good reason... only with a stick you can react fast enough

i dont like FL because of its mouse support.. you cant make good maneuvers there with a mouse and the same will happen if you play SL with a mouse (even keyboard is better)

Starlancer has no mouse support. Freelancer has no joystick support.
