I must be stupid. I have installed the Lovett MAY 2004 on FS 2004. I get
confused at the L-click / R-click "menu" that appears when MAY is active and
one presses LMB or RMB. The author does not yet have any instructions for
actually using this program. I -can- control the aircraft with it and fly
but I get balled up on theses "choices" and how to change the functions. I
really prefer a mouse for flying but FS2004 stripped that out.

Can anyone steer me (no pun intended!) to a tutorial or a simple text file
that details how to actually use MAY?

Hi Charlie,
No you are not stupid. I have been involved with the mouse as yoke program
from the beginning as a reviewer and tester. The programmer is a sim
enthusiast who is disabled and has to use his mouth to move the mouse, which
is why he made the program. It is a stupendous achievement. However, I agree
with you entirely about the lack of instructions. It MAY be that Mr Lovett
is unable to find out what it is like to use the mouse with his hand. I find
it very hard to use myself and have actually abandoned it through
impatience. However, I feel that it may well be worth somebody contacting
Lovett and writing the complete instructions for him. I mean someone
cleverer than me :-(
