Mouse freelook axis crosstalk - overly sensitive

Saw there was an update overnight, excitedly loaded up jumped into an Airbus…

Moved the mouse and clouds of disappointment descended so off went the XBX.

I understand access & stability fixes come first, I just hope this is high on the list of bug fixes.

In my opinion this got wrongly merged into the original topic as mouse sensitivity and axis crosstalk are two separate issues.

I imagine the sensitivity is the point at which both axes happen to align, in which case the dual input doubles the movement rate.

Erratic definitely covers what I experienced, however I noticed when I did a smooth vertical line, the camera would move at a 45 degree angle rather than vertically.

A similar bug happened to me in the tech alpha, and I believe it was not only the freelook but it was also affecting the flight controls at that time. However upon release it has only affected the freelook for me. It has partially resolved itself, however with certain camera orientations it seems to come back, and the mouse freelook doesn’t move in a linear 1:1 motion with inputs. This is why I believe it is to do with the camera coordinates system, which has had issues in 2020 also. I have a feeling there may be a conflict between a polar coordinate system (worldspace?) and a cartesian coordinate system (camera?) somewhere.

Hmm.. Good point. Maybe you are right. We will see if a future fix will then address both issues.

I have the same issue
Xbox series x
Playing with controller keyboard mouse and hotas one
Everything worked fine with FS2020.
In FS2024 the mouse has issues.
When i am in cockpit and want to use the “(hold button) freeview cockpit” feature, it doesnt work at all.
I double checked all my settings but i am sure its not my fault, and seeing all you guys having the same problem, i am glad i am not the only one, so its indeed a bug.

This should have a high priority and a fix ASAP.
Using my mouse for aircraft like a320 is essential, i need to freeview and click stuff with my mouse all the time during flight.

Please upvote this topic so it can get fixed

Experiencing the same on series X with mouse and TurtleBeach V1F. Upvoted so it can be prioritized for next patch/hotfix.

Like the WASM issue on 2020 :wink::man_facepalming:. They will have tested on a pc based Dev/test rig. Just like before.

Here’s another one that has the same problem, series x and tca airbus captain pack and in free view (external and internal), and when moving the character the mouse is impossible to control, I hope they fix it soon so it’s impossible to play.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• same as everyone, Xbox x mouse freelook reverts to seat or roof and is extremely sensitive. I can not control it at all. Free look on joystick is fine.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Mine is not, but I do have the freelook spinning wildly problem

My left and right click mouse buttons are now permanently reversed from the minute I load into the game. Anyone else have this and how do I fix it? Perfectly fine in 2020.

I know my mouse has been doing the death spin when trying to use it but I will complete the template and obtain screen captures tomorrow on my day off to report the issues that I am still noticing.

Thank you :slight_smile:

• yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• all you need to do is connect a mouse, keyboard and flightstick (as you normally would) start the game, load a flight and try and look around holding the right mouse button, and the view (camera) goes haywire!
