[TUTORIAL] Optimal mouse settings

[Tris]

I personally much prefer having mouse acceleration on, it feels much more natural. I get the argument for having it off, it certainly will help with muscle memory. But you can still develop some level of muscle memory with it on, it's just slightly harder to be as precise, which I'd argue does not really matter for a game like LFS. The main disadvantage for mouse acceleration in most cases is in a situation where you need to flick to a specific point quickly, but in LFS the few times this would come up a slightly higher level of precision would not make much of a difference. In LFS most of the time you want to be as smooth as possible and both options do that just fine.

I also get the idea behind using mouse for gas and brake as well as steer but it's just not practical or worth learning IMO. It's just too much to dedicate solely to the movements of your wrist. On top of that there is the disadvantage of not being able to accelerate and brake at the same time brought up earlier.

If anyone reads this thread hoping to try to learn mouse or get better at it, don't take it a gospel. I'm not saying this is not a valid way of playing on mouse but everything comes down to personal preference and what works for one person may not work for another(for example many find steer center reduction helpful but it was mentioned nowhere in this post). Use a method that feels most comfortable to you.

(P.S my settings are DPI 800-1200 depending on the mouse, steer center reduction 0.78, button control rate 10, enhanced precision on, gas and brake to LMB and RMB)
