6DOF devices (3D Mouse) still do not work in editos (VAB and SPH) in 1.0

[T.Lancer]

The standard 6DOF system will not work properly in 1.0 in both the VAB and SPH editors. This is rather dissapointing since the game offically supported the 6DOF mouse since .23. Having moved the camera with the mouse while in any editor, if you attempt to place a part the part will instantly appear behind the part list and be unselectable. parts placed before moving the camera with the 3D mouse will stil be selectable.

This is a crippling bug. While it's great that KSP now also supports TrackIR, not being able to use the 3D mouse in the editor makes the whole process of building craft unenjoyable and (personally) unplayable.

This bug has been confirmed since .90. It's too bad it wasn't fixed for the offical 1.0 release.

I use a 3Dconnexion Space Navigator mouse with KSP. It was also officially supported with the start of KSP .23

The problem I have though is in the contruction buildings. At first the camera is centered to the middle of the VAB (which is normal). If I build my rocket without touching the 3D mouse everything is fine. Though as soon as I used the 3D mouse to rotate or move the camera I am unable to place any parts anymore. When I select a part from the part list it instantly plops into the VAB an I am unable to select it or move it. Thus making it impossible to build anything. I can only place parts for as long as I don't touch the 3D mouse. Once I do I can't place any parts at all anymore, even if the recenter the camera using the noramal mouse controls. After that I have to either reload the ship I'm building or leave the VAB. But I can still not select any parts that where placed into the VAB while I was using the 3D mouse. I can however still select free floating parts that had been placed into the VAB from before I used the 3D mouse. All these parts are just free floating. They are not connected to any spacecraft. They also vanish if I reload the ship or exit the VAB (which is normal). I can still select parts that are part of my rocket. As long as I built the rocket without touching the 3D mouse.

This is 100% repeatable on both 32 and 64bit windows version of KSP.

You are not alone. Not being able to use the 3d mouse in vab means I don't play the game.

Squad? Is this going to be fixed in the coming patch?

[sal_vager]

No idea if they will fix it, though most of the devs use 3D mice both for work and for KSP, the lead dev HarvesteR would like to find time to get this going as well, so you never know

I sent a support comment to Squad a while ago and got a response saying they are aware and that this is a top priority issue now. I can nearly taste the sweet SPH precision!

Hope this gets fixed soon because the 3D mouse is the ONLY way to navigate in the construction phase, absolutely amazing, let down by what seems to be a very minor glitch !
