Mouse flying.

[Poet 0]

One of the things about OFP1 that irked me was that Choppers are so lovely and easy to fly using my mouse, but compared with many other games, Planes are very difficult.

I know, I know, get a joystick ... but in many other flight sims, my Mouse Flight control is pretty spot on, and I dont have too many problems without a JS.

One thing that would make it a lot easier would be adding someway to allow the user to Invert his mouse only when in planes.

Other games have set ups where you can have different mouse/keyboard settings for different vehicle types.

Not that I'd ever want to see OFP become like any other games, but something similar would be wonderful.

The problem with airplanes is that they go too fast. When you're running an infantry sim you want to see pretty trees and detailed terrain. thats fine, but you have to tune down the visibility some. you really dont even notice it when you're on the ground. but when you climb into an airplane you need to see further so you can react to the terrain because you're going so fast. in some places the FAA wont even let you fly unless the visibility is 3 statute miles.

it's going to be hard to find a good way to keep the visibility high for flying jets, but low enough to keep the framerates decent.

Maybe it'd be nice if it just rendered the ground and armored vehicles at a longer distance than every thing else when you're in a plane. Though, then, planes would need to be visible at a longer distance to ground units so they could have a chance to shoot em down.
