It's very curious how the mouse speed is not affected in the game when set in dosbox.conf - it works with all other games that had a similar issue (like A Final Unity). You sure the data you enter is correct? If Dosbox can't read the info, it will go to the default value.

just to make sure how do you launch X-Wing, by starting Dosbox and mounting directories or are you drag'n'dropping the x-wing exe onto dosbox?

Thanks for the responses guys.

I've tried setting the flag in the shortcut to DOSBox (ie dosbox.exe -c "sensitivity 567") and also just running dosbox and using the 'sensitivity' command in-program to change the value. Typing 'sensitivity' to check the value returns whatever value I'd set it to, so I think I'm doing it right (maybe?)

I'm mounting my games directory and then navigating to the X-Wing subdirectory from within DOSBox, in other words

mount c: c:/documents and settings/administrator/desktop/games
c:
cd x-wing
x-wing.exe

ok, sorry then it is not THAT issue (if you drag'n'drop Dosbox looks for the conf in the directory of the dropped exe and not the Dosbox directory).

You could try with a different output in Dosbox.conf, just maybe it's also a graphics driver issue, I *think* there was such an issue that got solved by different output, I could very well be mistaken, though.

In Logitech's SetPoint mouse/keyboard drivers there is an option to set things up for games, but no help if you are using older Logitech hardware or other company's hardware....

Change the sensitivity value in the dosbox.conf you're using.

Change the sensitivity value in the dosbox.conf you're using.

Sorry, I should have clarified that I have done this also.

Check in the console window that it is using exactly this dosbox.conf in
which you've modified the sensitivity. If everything is fine, type "sensitivity"
in the regular dosbox window to verify that the value is actually changed.

wd,

Forgive me; I just tried configuring the sensitivity through dosbox.conf again, and it has worked. Not sure what I must have done wrong the first time around, but hey.

Many thanks for your help.

😜 well that's what I suggested at first - the in-game settings don't always immediately change dosbox behaviour I noticed so the mouse settings may have been like this as well.

This issue exists on real PCs running DOS, so dosbox isn't really the problem here. The keyboard input is bad too
