TrackIR 4 and mouse emulation

Post by jonfog »

Hi, I just upgraded my trusty old version 1 device to a new V4 Pro.
Sadly the mouse mode seems to be lacking. It was EXTREMELY useful in Falcon 4, where I had mapped a joystick button to switch between mouse mode and enhanced mode as I switched between 2-D cockpit and 3-D.
In the 2-D mode you could then look at the cockpit switches and buttons and activate with them with a joystick button assigned as a mouse click.
Now I either have to release of my HOTAS and fumble for a mouse or release my HOTAS and look for a Ctrl-Alt-Shift combination. Everyone who's playing Falcon 4 nows that there are too many button combinations to remember or map to a HOTAS.

Obvioulsly this topic has been brought up before, but I really want to empasize that the mouse mode is useful in games too!

This seemed to slip by during the holidays. Mouse emulation is still available in the latest version of our software. TIRMouse.EXE is the application in the TrackIR4 folder.
