Mousewheel throttle
Hi, a small control idea i thought of whilst driving home tonight.
For those of us who drive with the mouse, controlling rwd cars can be a little tricky especially the powerful ones due to the on/off nature of the throttle.
could the mouse wheel be used so you sort of scroll up through throttle levels?
ie.
one scroll up=10% throttle two =20% etc.
then perhaps the left mouse button be skip to 100% and right mouse button be cut the throttle?
i think it would be easier and add a bit more realism to an already great sim!
The mouse can already control throttle and steering smoothly without using the buttons. Throttle/brake on Y-axis, steering on X-axis. The center of the screen is the neutral zone(no brake, no throttle, tires straight) above the center the throttle starts getting applied, below the center the brakes get applied, and such with the steering right and left that you already know about. Much better than the sudden on/off of a button.
when using the mouse on my sister's computer i used the wheel as gear up/down.. made most sense, and button1 for gas and 2 for brake

..but that was just a temporary test for 1 day, so i dont have to deal with a mouse lol
