[?] Hat switch for helicopter view

Hey guys,

Can anyone tell me how you guys managed to get it so that in the Little Bird you can map your joystick hat switch to look left, right and down? I am assuming it is something you dudes have done 'in game'.

If you don't mind sharing your secrets I would be very appreciative.

Cheers,

WallyJas

the thing i dont like about mouse look is that you loose total control of your aircraft while looking around...

Yeah, I have seen this this thread and I can't seem to get it to work. Also the advantage of whatever PR have done is that you can still use the flight conmtrols and look around with hat switch. With mouse look it disables the flight controls when you use it.

Thanks anyway

Yeah that just sucks

and you have to hold CTRL as well...uh, but i do like what ya guys did with the blackhawk and LB..press fire and it looks left, Alternat fire looks right, and both look down through that glass thing lol.

Do you mean you lose all control or lose a part of the control?

I was able to look both ways and spot targets for the gunners while flying yesterday?

You still have some control but I wouldn't recommend staring too long out the side windows especially in the LB.
