Mousewheel control of throttle

[Tacroy]

I found out about mouse control from someone in FFA the other day, and I think it's pretty fun. The only problem is that you can't really reverse thrust with it, and you can't control your speed very well. This could be easily fixed by binding your throttle to the mouse wheel when mouse control is turned on; flick the mouse wheel up, and you go faster; flick it down, and you slow down. Afterburning or reverse thrusting would be an extra state after full throttle or during stall - if you're going at full throttle and scroll the mouse wheel up, you'll start afterburning until you scroll the wheel down. If you're stalled and you scroll down, you'll start reverse thrusting until you scroll up.

I don't see any major problem in this-it may work

Sounds good to me.

It seems that many of the newer users, like myself have rather taken a liking to mouse controls, only to later find that they can not use it well with the Miranda and they can not use it at all with reverse thrust. I would love nothing more than to be able to fly with reverse thrust using the mouse.

I agree.//

don't agree...i would like a different way...like when stall n move your mouse backward then here you go...reverse thrust

side note: because i have no mouse wheel...

Maybe a second configuration for the controls in the options menu?
