If the mouse stops, the maneuver is continued with constant speed. In order to stop turning, you must move the mouse back to the starting position. X-axis controls roll, so mouse movement across the screen from left or right makes your aircraft roll left or right.

Continuous, X-axis controls roll - ôShooter styleö mouse. The mouse must be moved continuously in order to execute maneuvers. When the mouse stops, the maneuver also stops. X-axis controls roll, so mouse movement across the screen from left or right makes your aircraft roll left or right.
