I use This mouse for headlook in War Thunder Sim. Think of it as a poor man's track ir, it's attached to my headset and activated when I press X on the Thrustmaster and returns to centre when I let go. The amount the headlook moves is user adjustable, for me it's a 2:1 ratio.
I'd like this feature added to Elite as it improves immersion greatly.
It shouldn't take a lot of code as headlook is already in game and VR/Track ir users have it and PS4/5 players have it on the game pad but I just can't keep it steady whilst in combat.
How about it FDev? I'm willing to bet 50 lines of code should do it.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it can't be that difficult (as shown by Gaijin in War Thunder). At the moment Elite is only taking up space on my hard drive, adding this easy feature would bring me back. Otherwise my commander is on a break/retired.

Well I had another look today due to an update downloading, did it get added? No. In fact the mouse up and down buttons worked in the menu so the game itself actually recognises mouse input. So what did the update do? Well for me it removed my fire groups which I found out after getting interdicted. Tried to use the headlook and the resting position of my hands after a quick look around the cockpit left me looking at my feet. When every other game company is adding qol for disabled users frontier stands out as belligerently unhelpful. ED is just taking up real estate on my HD, the only reason it's stayed so long is because it's one of the few I bought digitally and the playstation dl speeds are not speedy. I tried to join Drew Wagars o7 tour last week, besides still not having cross play like every other game I play, it crashed 3 times. Anyway I won't let this game dissapoint me any more. o7 CMDRS I'm out.

This is pitiful Braben. The last time I had any respect for your code was 1984. Can't even add mouse support for your bloated excuse for a space game, a tedious loading screen on an excel sheet that you can't even get to run on a PS5. And I can't believe you released the first person shooter version and got people to pay for it too, the arms are laughable like a free web game. Your 37 Gig of is taking up valuable space on my HD. good riddance
