remove all references to sendto and default_sendto in the config file, it just causes problems.

The problem with some games is that they lock the mouse pointer so its unable to move outside the game screen area. There are two ways programs can do this, ClipCursor and SetCapture. I can disable the ClipCursor option, but not SetCapture. If it doesnt work in local mode with TB v1.0.1, then you have run into a program that does SetCapture, and it wont work.

The cockpit panning is due to you pressing the touchscreen, and the system moving the mouse cursor over as far as it can to reach that touch area, but if the mouse is locked to the game window area, it wont get there... you still get the mouse move events sent, but the button is never preessed because the cursor never gets there.

You may not be able to use the touchscreen with this game in Local mode because of this problem, and its a problem that I cannot disable (the system wont let another application un-SetCapture another application).
