By the way, anyone in UK interested in a Hotas. Amazon have them for £22. I think this is cheapest in UK. Argos £25 which is still a great deal

I found it on Ebay.. It arrived this morning. Put this number in the search box.. 290378917637

I think it might work, just need a usb extension cable now coz the one on it its way too short. I'll let you know if it works.

Cheers Winny, USB extentions are available at poundland. I bought one to extend my charging cable a while back.
Let us know how that mouse works, it looks perfect for camera tracking

It actually works quite well..

Basically I've taken the elastic strap off the trackball and stuck the unit to the throttle just above the rudder control (using Blu tack of all things). I also had to set it as a left handed mouse so I can use the right click and track ball at the same time, if you have it the other way round you end up with the ball and button being directly above each other and it's awkward. It means I can use the 2nd and 3rd fingers of my left hand to look around and still have control of the power.. Which is a good thing.. Now if only I could actually see anyone whilst I'm looking around.
