Mouse Acceleration in Cockpit Freelook Mode on PC

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

When panning the camera with the mouse in cockpit freelook, there is a really horrible kind of mouse acceleration that means if you move the mouse too quickly, the camera whizzes round out of control.

This is bad in two ways:

i) it’s obviously really annoying that the camera then zooms off far beyond where you want to look.

ii) it also causes significant stutters as the sim has to suddenly load in assets that were previously well out of view.

This issue was not preset in MSFS2020.

One can turn down the freelook speed and momentum in the settings but it does nothing to help with what I can best describe as mouse acceleration.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Every flight

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. With freelook in hold mode, hold down the assigned mouse button, I use middle mouse button.
  2. Pan the camera by moving the mouse.
  3. Move the mouse too quickly, or too far, and there is a massive acceleration of the camera and it whizzes round.

  • I have the same problem on Xbox.

  • Mouse works flawless on 2020, but in 2024 it’s unusable because of this issue.

  • The same problem occurs when your character leaves the airplane on ground and walks around.

  • The only workaround currently is to use a controller.

• Yes, also on PC

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Exact same issue for me on PC, no changes in latest SU1 beta so far. Flicking the mouse makes my camera to a 360, where as moving it the same distance slowly moves it a much smaller amount. There is definitely mouse acceleration on in 2024 which needs to be turned off as this wasn’t the same in 2020. I tested with mouse momentum turn off and on with the same result. Also when comparing to 2020 with the same in game and mouse dpi settings, there is clearly something wrong in 2024.

Mouse acceleration makes panning the virtual cockpit view really awkward to use.

I joined Beta 1 but saw no change in xbox crazy mouse.My temp fix so I can fly - deleted mouse right button bind in controls and believe it or not - stuck toothpick under right mouse button to stop it from sending any signal; i use xbox controller right joystick or keyboard arrow keys to move the camera cockpit view; mouse scroll and left mouse button work as expected

I too have same issue. Free look momentum set to zero. Still zooms past where a stop the mouse. Have to reenter freelook and attempt to go back to where I wanted to stop by moving very slowly. This is really bad when landing. I spend way to much time adjusting the view causing a major distraction in critical phase.
