I've just discovered 'X-Mouse Control' - what a great piece of kit!Try as I might though, I haven't been able program it for the centre mouse button to simulate a 'spacebar' press.That way moving around the VC can be done single handed.Please, can anyone help?Thanks

Have you tried programming middle button with Logitech SetPoint? if you have a logitech mouse that is....

Or the latest version of Microsoft IntelliPoint if you have a MS mouse works great too, you can assign the buttons to do different things depending on which application currently has focus, one option is to send key presses with the mouse buttons and in FSX I have the middle mouse click function send SHIFT + O (not zero) which toggles mouse look mode on and off.

I have an elderly Microsoft wireless mouse, so will have a look at 'Intellipoint'.Thanks

No, sadly Microsoft IntelliPoint is not supported for Windows 7 64 bit. The software actually gets 'blocked' by Windows.

Should the shortcomings of Microsoft drive you to new investment to resolve this, I

Then put your head in the game, and leave your hands where they should be, on the controls :(

Dougal it works perfectly in Windows 7 64 bit as that is what I am using, although my mouse is the Wireless InteliMouse Explorer 2.Try this version http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/1..._7.00.260.0.exe

Many thanks Andy, will try that tmrw. Main PC shut down for the night here. :( Off to bed now.

Hi AndyThe application installs perfectly, but sadly, will accept almost every keystroke apart from the spacebar :(

As I mentioned a few posts back use SHIFT + O (not zero) instead this is a toggle function rather than requiring you to hold the button down i.e. click the middle mouse button once to switch mouse look on and press again to switch mouse look off. You will find that it's actually more useful this way anyway.

Thanks Andy. The little bit of grey matter i have remaining is not too sharp these days :(
