Freelook with mouse causes controls to freeze after SU5

Yes, because someone had to add that tag retroactively as the tag has only existed for 17 days, just like I said above about them having to go back through all these old threads to add it. The chronology here is not confusing. The thread existed before the tag, the tag got added nearly a year later.

You have been notified, by this tag, that the bug has been accepted, and logged.

What more do you want? From what I read, a fix, which is not what that tag indicates, only that it has been logged.

This backfilling is just a label for something that was already going on in the background, now it is more overt, and for old issues we just need to be patient to wait for the relevant threads to be updated.

Is there a way to add the post date to posts? That way we can keep track a little better.

This is definitely a MAJORstrong text****bug !!!

What more do you want?

ā€œBug loggedā€ and Zendesk ā€œSolvedā€ mean absolutely squat and we both know that. What i want is acknowledgment that the bug is being WORKED ON. I’ll say it again, the issue is not even mentioned in the known issues tracker. During the Q&A on twitch, even though the question has been asked in chat, has been ignored. And it’s not even in the popular contest that is the bugfix roadmap. A tag on a forum is not sufficient communication for a UX/Accessibility issue of this impact.

And ultimately, of course I also want the bug fixed. Isn’t it obvious? If you paid $120 on a product, plus more for ancillary software that only works with said product, how would you feel if it were rendered useless to you for a month or more, with no fix in sight?

I’d want a fix for it if it cost me $10. The amount you paid is irrelevant. I would agree with you to a point.

But you lose me when you say the sim is unusable, as it is far from that.

It’s also my experience that those that quote how much they paid for it tend to speak from a position of entitlement.

It will be fixed in time, we just need to be patient. There are more important things that need fixing.

Ok, agree with you, the price is irrelevant. It’s a product I bought that I cannot use. I could have paid $10 and still would have expected it to work.

I get that it’s usable for you, maybe you don’t have this issue, maybe you do and are satisfied with the workarounds.

I personally am not, and the game is unusable for me. Please do not try to impose your standards upon others. I have booted MSFS exactly 5 times since SU5 and, while I was able to complete a flight on each occasion, this issue has soured the experience sufficiently to stop me from using MSFS until the issue is resolved. I wouldn’t make such a big fuss out of this if this were a minor inconvenience. There have been a lot of minor or major bugs with this game since launch and, while I may have complained a little here and there to my mates, each and every time I chose to just log a zendesk ticket and move on. I sincerely wish this were the case for this bug as well, as I would rather play than be here begging for information on it.

And for me, this is definitely the most important thing that needs fixing.

I’m definitely affected by it. What I do is press the middle mouse button instead, and this works well enough. Most of my cockpit controls are mapped to external hardware so I don’t tend to use the mouse for much while flying.

we need to raise this matter higher to get more views on it by the devs!

This is unacceptable, its been too long!

I’ve used fsuipc 7 to config my axis external and now I’ve my freelook back, but you need the fsuipc payware to control these settings.

Any setup tutorial vid?

still broken.

yep, still broken

That would be a good workaround if you already have the payware version of FSUIPC. As it is, I refuse to spend money and hack a fix for something Asobo should absolutely prioritise.

I am also having the same issue, prior to SU5 I could freelook with the mouse and continue controlling the aircraft with my other peripherals. Now even with legacy mode enabled I can’t free look while using controls. I hope this is fixed with the next update.

I would say let’s wait for the next Simupdate, but it’s not on the pre-release notes…

Shameless bump here, but I too also have this issue. When panning with the mouse, all my peripherals don’t work. As soon as I stop mouse panning, everything is fine.

It’s strange that I never had this issue with my old Logitech 3D Joystick, but ever since I recently added the new Thrustmaster Airbus joystick, throttle quadrant, and rudder pedals, they’re all not working while mouse panning.

There’s no real need to bump this thread. If you look at the tags at the top of the screen you will see that this bug has been logged.

The only downside is forgetting, and whipping the mouse up to click on ATC or a switch up there as you land and the whole view going into the rafters at 200ft above the runway lol :¬)

Other than that, it’s good enough a workaround for now …

man, we’ve been over this. There is a need to bump this thread as long as this bug exists, to make the devs aware of its significance. I doubt they realise by themselves.

Why do you keep acting like this thread is taking physical space inside your home and pushing you out or something? How does this bother you so much? Just look over this thread if this particular issue does not present interest to you, and stop telling people not to voice their dissatisfaction.

I fully agree, so until they fix it let’s keep bumping.

ā€œKeep?ā€ I mentioned it once.
