v1.0.1.0
- Added option to return view to center on pressing Escape
- Added option of automatic view centering when steering activity is detected
After a long time I found a bit of motivation to develop this little tool a bit further and decided to try and eliminate one of MouseLook's weakest points, which is that often after leaving a menu you look anywhere but straight ahead.
My first attempt to solve this was resetting the view every time escape is pressed, but unfortunately there are so many different ways to exit a menu that it didn't turn out to be terribly useful. Also if you like to use the escape key for navigating back in the menus, then your mouse cursor gets moved to the center of the screen every time, because I have no way to detect whether you're in the cockpit or in a menu. However, I decided to leave it in because you know, another option probably won't hurt.
The second attempt turned out to be more useful - when movement of the steering wheel is detected, the view returns to the center. That way the problem of looking in the wrong direction fixes itself almost automatically and you don't have to press your look key to reset the view by yourself. In addition to that, it also makes racing safer, as for example an unintentional bumping of the mouse will correct itself rather quickly. Of course this also has a drawback, namely the mouse cursor will also be moved to the center in the menus if you move the wheel. Not *that* annoying though, unless you recalibrate your wheel all the time.
