Mouse Steering Problems

Video below demonstrates the problem. I switch between keyboard and mouse steering to demonstrate my cursor only shows up while mouse steering.



I've assigned my mouse's X-axis to "Steering". This causes multiple issues:

- Cursor visible while steering
- RMB camera controls go haywire
- Mouse controls steering 100% of the time, even while in UI (didn't show this in video, might not even be a bug)

Hopefully you guys can figure out what's causing this. I have no idea how your input system works so for all I know it could require a complete rewrite, or it's as simple as changing a few lines of code

Hope this helps!

 

Thanks for the reply, in regards to your responses:

1) This is actually quite disorienting, I have never played a game with mouse steering where the cursor is visible while driving. Maybe there's a sort of visual indicator when in third-person (e.g. Euro Truck Simulator 2/American Truck Simulator), but never the actual cursor itself.

2) I believe you misunderstood me. Trying to use RMB camera controls with mouse-steering enabled causes it to behave erratically, as demonstrated in the video. Notice how it's "jittery" so to speak, instead of smooth movements it's jumping back and forth between camera controls and driving controls. So trying to use the camera controls interferes with driving controls and causes rapid jumps between the two. Try it out for yourself if you don't understand what I mean.

3) I understand your point, but how does it make sense to steer the vehicle at the same time you're trying to click a button on the menu? So I move my mouse to the left side of the menu and turn left into a tree...yep, definitely wanted to do that. At the very least, could a toggle-able option be implemented? "Cursor controls vehicle in menus" maybe?

I implore you to attempt using mouse steering and try to tell me that it's perfectly fine, from the visible cursor to the buggy camera controls...I understand not everyone uses mouse steering, but for those who do, it should be a somewhat enjoyable experience. My biggest issue is the damn cursor...it's incredibly immersion breaking and doesn't make you feel like you're in control of a vehicle, but rather an RC car that steers by following a cursor. Not exactly how mouse steering is supposed to work...

Anyways, thanks for everything that you guys do. I hope to see this issue taken a bit more seriously and eventually resolved so everyone is happy
