No Mouse support??

[DumbCatFace]

$100 game and and you can't give us mouse support? Come on.

unlike the others game you can control the menu with the gamepad, it's cool

Why would I want to use an inferior tool to navigate the menus?

You two are silly.

I don't understand the criticisms. I have a f1 style steering wheel with 10 buttons and 2 encoders without d-pad, + keyboard and trackball and without mouse support i too would be in trouble..it would be much more comfortable

hope for better multi usb devbice support..

Maybe it's easy enough, but it isn't very efficient. Instead of having to scroll through the menus and through lists of options and settings, I rather click two or three times to get the same result.

it's a bit inappropriate to use the mouse to navigate through the menus. But using a mouse as a steering wheel is a good idea if you don't have money to buy a wheel, especially now that the game has been developed to be easier to drive in gamepad, keyboard controllers

I'm really curious to know why you think that it is inappropriate to use a mouse to navigate through menus since that device is specifically designed just to make that job easier.

for me was very easy to use keyboard to navigate through the menus in any f1 games. Maybe in other games like Doom Eternal GSGO etc. that is better with mouse.

You may find it easy, but that doesn't make it efficient. With a keyboard you have to press a button (cursor) several times to select a menu option, for example to go to the settings screen. Than you have to press another button to actually open that screen. In the new screen you again have to press a button several times to select the right section, followed by another button to confirm. Then you have to press a button again several times to go to the setting you want, after which again you have to press a button several times to change the setting and probably another button to confirm it. All of which could have be done with four, maybe five mouse clicks at the most.

I really don't understand why people seem to prefer their wheel or keyboard over a mouse. Or why Codemasters doesn't include mouse support on the PC, since it couldn't be difficult to implement. Every other developer of race sims for the PC does it.

Inappropriate lol it's about as inappropriate as showing some ankle to turn someone on.
