Hello,
I have just installed Orbiter on a new machine by copying the complete orbiter directory from my old laptop. The old laptop is a Windows 7 machine where orbiter worked very well. The new machine (specs below) is a Windows 8 touch screen and there is a problem with the mouse only in the Orbiter simulation. Whenever I right click to drag a view, the behavior is not as expected. In an external view of the spacecraft, the view rotates rapidly, randomly and uncontrollably as long as the right button is pressed. In the interior view (for example, in the Arrow Freighter), the view goes up to the overhead and stays there. I can drag the view to other locations, but as soon as I stop moving the mouse, the view goes right back to the ceiling if the right mouse button is pressed. The machine gives this behavior with a variety of mice - both wired and wireless. Anybody have any ideas?
