Mouse support finally?

Please tell me that after all the years of ignoring mouse support it will finally be included? It is a no brainer, why has it been ignored forever?

The F1 series are the only race games I have ever played that ignored mouse integration.

I don't want to navigate menus with my steering wheel and trying to remember which button is which for selection purposes.

No mouse integration is like buying a new car that doesn't come with a steering wheel, just a silly decision not to include!!

Buying a racing game without a wheel is silly too 🙂 Who needs a mouse? Keyboard elite.

It amuses me how much some PC users apparently struggle to navigate menus using wheels 🙃.
(I do realise that for those who have a mouse handy anyway that it might be nice to use.)

@SteveJackson I need a mouse, that's who. I don't know of any pc games except for this series that has zero mouse support

@Ultrasonic_77 Well my wheel doesn't have buttons with triangles, squares, circles and Xs on it. It is just effortless to use a mouse and everyone has one on their pc. At one stage with one of the earlier f1 series games because I could not reliably use my wheel to navigate the menus I plugged in a controller but that was just stupid having to fumble around for it in the dark and constantly pick it up and put it down in the menus and pits etc. I ended up boycotting this series for a number of years because of it. I know a lot of others feel the same. What do you expect for a console port I guess

Well, apart from most of the other games that are console ports like this one.

@gallusnumpty I have not played any other console ports that I am aware of so wouldn't know those.

I just posted a bug report in the old forum about the game stats not being scrollable without a controller connected (right joystick only). Not even a keyboard control, nothing on my wheel either (axis not present).

Oh right, that obviously needs addressing.

Kind of my point about mouse support if keyboard support isn't there yet and it was an issue on XB1 this game IIRC.
