I've been experimenting with the available control mappings as they apply to the gyrocopter (and various MOD helicopters).
My goal was to get all the primary controls off the keyboard and onto the mouse. Not only would this more natural (imo) it would reduce the chances of accidentally touching "E" and jumping out of the vehicle at altitude. Not that I would actually do such a thing. ;-)
Mapping the scroll wheel to pitch up and down is very useful. While this works it would work better if there were a way to make the wheel more sensitive. I'm on Windows 10 and have not found anything that does this. Camera zooming was moved to the C and space-bar.
When driving a surface vehicle the mouse (left and right motion) controls steering. This would be yaw in an airborne vehicle but that isn't an option in 7DTD. Or is it? The code is in there for land vehicles after all.
In fact, if mouse motion in general (fore and aft, left and right) could be treated as a joystick of sorts to control both pitch and yaw ... well. That would be Awesome. Flying could be done as aggressively as driving is now.
