Help an old IL2 Veteran

[jameson]

If you have installed IL2 in C:programs, this may explain the problem as W7 will not permit you to change anything once it is installed.
As you've been away I recommend reading the bible of IL2 here:

It has a guide to installation in W7 and practically anything else you could possibly want to know. Good luck!

Fresh install with patches and the mouse is still REALLY messed up

OK. I'll bite. Is the mouse functioning normally when the game isn't running? If so, unplug all other game controllers i.e. joystick, whatever. Start game, what does the mouse do now? My best guess is that you have the mouse competing with another controller. If the mouse behaves normally with the other game controllers unplugged you'll have a start point to find a solution.

Still doesn't work with nothing plugged in and the mouse works perfectly fine otherwise, all-though its really new....let me try a really old one if that makes a difference

WOW that actually fixed it, i guess i will have to swap mouses when i play, i will miss my gaming mouse though ):

Thanks for your help, if it wasnt for you i wouldent have thought of the mouse thing so thank you

Glad you have got it sorted. When this game came out I don't think gaming mice existed. There may be an option available to change the behaviour of the mouse if you've installed some software for it. Sounds like it thinks it should be the joystick? Apart from using a mouse in the menu and possibly with the in game map or to look around, they don't get a lot of use, so gaming mice are not really a lot of use in IL2. Happy flying and have a nice xmas.
