I think it would be pretty handy if there was a way to logout from the game just with the mouse, cause sometimes, my keyboard just stop functionning and its pretty annoying to have to shut down my PC to quit ....
Cheers

Kinda hard to Do anything without a working keyboard, Bottom Point.

you can click and drag the litte green triangle on the throttle bar for speed, can do the same with turning, but im sure it'd be much less precise. or do you mean if your engines got fluxed/nuked?
kinda hard to Do anything without a working keyboard, but it is possible

You mean like a little button somewhere you can click on that takes you to the game screen (with options for background colour, play, etc.)? And it would have to be small, cause I don't want to click on it accidently.

Well actually it is more precise, I use my mouse to set my speed for bombing runs, I dont use it at any other time for speed or flight direction

But didn't you just say your keyboard sometimes doesn't work? So if your escape button works, then whats the problem...?
And I think it would have to take you to the game screen, I don't want to log out by accident.

thats not what I said, if I recall well, you have to press escape to get to the screen where you can remap key, etc, so the logout tab is in there, I wont be able to go in there ...
PS : I hate USB keyboards ...
[EDIT] added PS

I'm saying your little button would take you to the game screen. That way if you click it by accident, you can still get back in game.

Sky, next time your keyboard acts up, try pulling out its plug and reinsert it, mine sometimes does the same and it always help (kinda like reset-button for the keyboard ^^)
