Re: Mouse Aiming/Input is Awful

This method (V-Joy) has been in gaming for over 25 years. There is a reason they chose this method.

Direct Input is a modern mouse invention and is extremely overpowered, crossplay would be impossible and the game's defensive flying would be impossible as everyone would have Starfighter levels of 99% accuracy. 

There is a reason almost no games have this because it's a disaster to balance.

    @DaffanZ Please stop defending bad input methods for the sake of making controller players more competitive. The only thing "overpowered" about direct input is that players are not hindered by a bad input system. The game already has auto aim weapons to help with imprecise aim. This current system makes mouse control the worst input method by far and it is purely because of the hobbled system and not the input method itself.

    Yes - please fix the mouse input. This cursor system to lead the targeting reticle is horrible. As far as I can see, it's only the mouse that's being hobbled by this. Even flying with the arrow buttons is smoother and more reliable.

    @MarsCaturix No thanks I don't. want this to be another starfighter clone where everyone has 99% accuracy and going defensive is impossible.

    Controllers have the exact same system except they have a physical stick... they have to hold deflection u don't... its a trade off for same outcome.

    Just admit you want the A.I assisted chase the cursor mouse mode from SF or War Thunder and you can go 99-0
