Playing with controller with mouselook

Feb 18, 2017 ryanleman link
I love that mouselook circle so ive been trying to play the game via bluetooth controller while maintaining the mouselook. I have a moga pocket with moga universal driver and everything works except i cant control turn and pitch with controller while keyboard/mouse is selected in the options even if turning has a button on the keyboard that should be controlable via the bt controller.
there seems to be a block that only allows mouselook to be activated only when a mouse is controling the turning/pitch function

Does anyone know a solution? Or can the devs lift this strict limitation? Let me know if you dont follow me lol

Even on a PC, while mouselook is enabled, it disables the joysticks ability to turn. Way back when it was actually not called mouselook at all, and was just a toggle between using a joystick or a mouse; you could only use one or the other. This was changed around 2003 to allow a mouse to control the ship even in joystick mode, and the change of the option was renamed to mouselook.

There is no way around it, if you enable mouselook, the joystick is disabled. And to be honest I'm not sure it would work well if you could use the stick like a mouse.

I know it is old thread, but is there any chance for us to get option for mouselook *not* related, in any way, to steering ship? Just for looking around?

It is already possible in "simulated VR" option under PC client but a) sacrifices right mouse button to look b) most plugins doesn't work as they should with VR HUD.

Just a little checkbox and (presumably) minimal change to the code would allow it to work on "regular" mode too... Would be awesome for those HAT switches on joystick for situational awareness (binding it to virtual mouse left for discretion of user, doable on all platforms, including android - yes, I have checked) or for just looking around during long turbos.
