I have added initial mouse control for 2D cabviews in r2739. Please let me know if something is broken.

Works great with all but one thing is the horn remains pressed on release like sand an bell should do. Horn should be just like pressing the reset button like default Dash 9 cab on release?

It all depends on the Style() setting of the control in cvf file: if it is set to ONOFF, then it will stick in. If that is PRESSED or WHILE_PRESSED, then it will release like reset button. (Does anyone know what is the difference between the last two?)

Fantastic! Thank you very much! An initial test shows it works quite nicely. The only thing I ask now is that what you do with the mouse give you the action message at the bottom of the screen so the you know how much air you grabbed.

Fantastic but 1 thing: Will the Alerter be acknowledged an time reset not just by pressing the reset button an horn all the time since those 2 are just the key in mouse to reset the limits of it beeping back an acknowledging it since brakes an throttle reset it during keyboard pressing operations?

More MSTS compatibility. (I've updated the project milestones to suit.)

Well done, Peter.

Great step forward, Peter !
I've just been running the Dash-9 and some of its derivatives nicely.
GP-38 has reversed mouse control of the direction lever, I think.

Congrats,
Sid
