Hi guys and gals, as the title says, does anyone know if mouse functionality will finally be coded in? If not I will pass on this *le yet again.

@F1Aussie i'm also on the PC, i've never been anywhere else and still can't understand the demand for mouse support. It would be an additional device to reach for, although you could also control with the steering wheel, pretty much every steering wheel has directional pad and at least two buttons to navigate back and forth. a useful and easy to use menu structure would be much better and more important.

I have always wondered why a mouse support should be so important, the navigation works wonderfully with the steering wheel / controller, so why a mouse?I would rather wish for a better structure of the menus

It can't be that difficult to code it in, everyone else manages to for pc released gamesI was explaining why it wasn't pointless having only keyboard support, much as I find the idea of driving using a keyboard bizarre! I can see why adding mouse support is very different though since keyboard support just involves defining button mapping whereas adding the sort of mouse support you'd like would require functionality adding to the game: there is no cursor in the game at present or on-screen buttons to mouse-over and click on.I navigate the game perfectly fine using the buttons on my wheel so whilst I understand PC players wanting mouse support it really isn't necessary.

@Whitestar127 wrote:@F1Aussie, you (and I) may be in the minority here, but I see tons of people asking for mouse UI support on various forums. And I fully agree with you. There should be mouse UI support on a game like this.I wouldn't be here moaning aboout it if the keyboard was quick and easy to use. It isn't. It's very slow and cumbersome actually. With a mouse it would be swish-click, swish-click. Super fast!It's also a bit hilarious to see people defending it not being in the game and actually arguing against it, lol. Why? Why do you have a problem with a feature that is supported in (I'm guessing) 99.9% of all PC games? We just want the game to be better and easier to use. That's a good thing right?Now, lack of mouse support won't stop me from getting the game, but it's getting a bit silly at this point.There are limited resources to develop each new version of the game so time spent implementing one thing will be time that isn't spent doing something else. So the question then becomes how high priority is mouse support, and how easy it is to add also becomes relevant.

@ScarDuck14 I think he's referring to being able to navigate the UI with the mouse.We'll hardly know this before the game comes out but I'd put my money on nope, not implemented.

So, is mouse functionality finally goung to be added?

That's disappointing.....yet again, if it is not implemented. Don't really see the point in implementing keyboard support if not mouse as well. Yes mouse for navigating menus is what I meant.

We dont even have the ability to change the drivers names ourselves after all these years...you don't expect them to implement in the game an up to date device that millions of people use to navigate game menus do you? This is and will always be a CONSOLE PORT.

Well, some people actually use keyboard controls to race so only having keyboard support is useful for them.

Yeah but I an on pc, I don't know what my button numbers are on my multiple steering wheels and couldn't care less about it. It doesn't get much simpler than a mouse, move, scroll, click, that's it. I can' say that out of my library of 100 plus steam games the earlier F1 ones are the only ones without mouse functionality, I say earlier as I won't buy the later ones now because of that.
