Title: Mouse sensitivity on Descent (D1x-rebirth)
Post by: VANGUARD on September 14, 2011, 08:43:27 AM: I updated Descent 1 with the latest D1x-rebirth. The mouse works better. It however doesn't want to stop spinning the ship.
Turning the deadzone to min or max, or anywhere inbetween doesn't change anything.

This is Descent 1 (from good old games website)
latest version of d1x-rebirth
Mac OSX
mouse is a logitec marble mouse (ball is on top)

Flight-sim mode means the ship will turn faster the farther you turn the mouse, but you need to center the mouse in the deadzone for it to stop. Basically it treats the mouse movement like a joystick.

You can invert any axis control from wherever you set it.

I've always thought it was called "Invert Mouse" :P

(I'm too used to standard FPS games :P)
