Stumped with IL2 & mouse !

[crates]

I'm trying to run IL2-1946 (the nocd cracked version without copy protection).

The program runs but the mouse won't move- its frozen in the centre of the screen.

Konsole shows the following output :

Can anyone help ?

Had the same problem, but using someone else's advice, I got it (mostly) working like this:
configure the game for fullscreen. Start it through wine, then alt+tab out of the game. Right click on the taskbar and send the window to another viewport. Change viewports using ctrl+alt+arrow, and tada!

Its worth noting under windows IL2 has similar issues. When you alt+tab out of the game, it will lose its mouse more often than not, and you have to task switch again to solve it.

BTW, use OpenGL (obviously), but water=4 doesnt work for me under linux, but water=0 works fine. havent tested other settings yet. Framerates are excellent btw!

Now, the one thing that doesnt work yet is networking. IL2 runs fine, but you can't connect to a server for whatever reason, so no online flying (( Lets all go to wine-hq and vote for IL2 as their next fix:
