The more the mouse moves away from a central (or starting) position, the quicker the maneuver. If the mouse stops, the maneuver is continued with constant speed. In order to stop turning, you must move the mouse back to the starting position. X-axis controls roll, so mouse movement across the screen from left or right makes your aircraft roll left or right. Continuous, X-axis controls roll - Shooter style mouse. The mouse must be moved continuously in order to execute maneuvers. When the mouse stops, the maneuver also stops. X-axis controls roll, so mouse movement across the screen from left or right makes your aircraft roll left or right. Ordinary, Õ-axis controls yaw - Joystick style mouse. The more the mouse moves away from a central (or starting) position, the quicker the maneuver. If the mouse stops, the maneuver is continued with constant speed. In order to stop turning, you must move the mouse back to the starting position. X-axis controls yaw, so moving the mouse left or right turns the aircraft on a horizontal plane. Some aircraft in the game can execute such maneuvers within a very restricted range. Continuous, X-axis controls yaw - Shooter style mouse.

X-axis controls yaw - moving the mouse left or right turns the aircraft on a horizontal plane. Some aircraft in the game can execute such maneuvers within a very restricted range. e-Mouse In the e-Mouse mode the mouse pointer is always present on the screen. By moving this pointer around the screen you can set the autopilot to maintain the desired direction of flight, and the autopilot determines the optimal maneuver at its discretion. Mouse Limit defines maximum mouse pointer deflection after which the autopilot begins to execute maneuver in the assigned direction with the highest possible for this aircraft speed. The pointer turns red at this time. Max Turn on Echelon-style Mouse function lets you begin maneuvering in the given direction with the highest possible speed at any moment. When used, the Mouse Limit setting has no effect.
