Aloha,

Does anyone know of a Jet combat sim which can be conmtrolled w a mouse. I can't use my hands. I've flown flight sims for years, but w stick in my mout. I have a dirt bike sim which i steer using a head mouse. If i move my head left or right i turn thay direction. If I move my head up or down I lean foward and back. I blow in a tube ( which is left and right mouse clicks)for gas, suck for brake.

If you know of any jet combat sims which can b mouse ciontrolled pls let me know. I hav a good computer (p3 500 and video card (Vodoo3 3000) w alot of RAM.

Sorry man, I don't think any of them can. Pluse you need a LOT of keyboard commands. Sounds like you're in a pretty ruff state at the moment! Hope this is just temporrary for you, if not, I'm sorry. Wish I could help. Would be hard to control a sim the way you described the dirt bike game (btw, is theat game Motocross Madness 1 or 2?). Flight sims need at least left and right movement for roll, front and back for pitch, some manner of throttle control and a weapon control of some sort. If you can find a sim the uses mouse support as a control and are able to pull it off I would love to see you do it! That would be a great feat!

Hope some one can point a sim out for you that you can try. Good luck!

You can fly the jets in MiG Alley by mouse. As these are 1950s jets, there aren't any of the fancy avionics found in modern jet sims. Unfortunately, I don't think you can control the throttle or the guns with mouse clicks.

You may be able to find a program which assigns a key to your mouse clicks. For example, the software for my Logitech mouse allows you to assign the function keys to mouse clicks, and MiG Alley's key remapper would then allow you to set the function keys as throttle/guns.

I know A-10 Cuba can be controlled with a mouse, adn I think F/A-19 Korea can use the mouse as well.
