Hi,
I wrote a script for Ground Control 2, since I have it but it's only working under Wine since 1.3.23...
And even then... It's marked "Gold" on WineHQ, but it could crash it with middle-click + drap (change view angle) with 1.3.23, 1.3.27, and 1.3.33.
It seems stable with 1.3.34, so that's what I picked for the script.
Enjoy.

# Supposed to be "Gold" on WineHQ with 1.3.23, but I crash it with middle-click + drag
# Same for 1.3.27-rawinput2, 
# very easily with 1.3.33
# couldn't crash it with 1.3.34-rawinput2
# 1.3.34 ok?
