Well, I tested clicking the stick base and anywhere else at or next to the stick, also with BS and any key modifier I could think of, but no success. I guess hiding the sting is simply not possible. I also could not find any corresponding command in the controls table. I am just flying SU-27 FC training lessons atm but it's the same behaviour during a normal mission. May be it's a hidden key binding somewhere hidden deeply in the core or only avaialble in another model than the SU-27, just guessing. Anyway, thanks for your help. I guess, I have to live with it.

LAlt+C worked, thanks. Unfortunately clicking the stick base didn't help to hide it. so I'm back to my initial issue. Of couse I added deadzones and spend some time to filter and smooth out the head movement with opentrack. But it wasn't very helpful even with large center deadzones and very gentle movements. With a 57" 1000R display you most likely do not see left and right edge of the display at the same time any more unless you are sitting much further away than usual (which I don't do). Therefore you anyway turn your head from side to side to check what is moving at the very edges. But if each turn makes the display move even further that's causing a lot of irritation. I guess with a 57" 1000R display you just don't need any additional head tracking.

Motion sickness? Well, not really. I don't have a problem in the car, elevator nor on a roller coaster, in an airplane or at sea. Maybe it's because the visual impressions in the brain don't match the physically perceived impressions of movement? This could also be the case with your USAR pilot son. In any case, I'm too old anyway to test this again in the pilot's seat, hence DCS and the other "we don't name it here" blue screen product.

well ... I made my 1st experiments with opentrack. After getting the movement smoothed out and well filtered - which took some time - I tested it with DCS. Sorry, but not for me. This constant moving of view field on my 57" ultra wide screen makes me sick and loosing orientation. For my humble flying needs the 57" UW view is wide enough and much less sickening to cope with, at least to me. I also thought about VR (Quest 3 ?) but I am afraid this might be even worse for me. May be some time in the future but not for now. Atm I still try to get that damn stick out of my view and/or disable the view direction from my mouse. Does it make any difference that my "mouse" is in fact a Kensington slim blade track ball?

Correct. I guess I'm just too bloody new to DCS to find the fix. Thanks !

Thanks, that was too easy Unfortunately my mouse controls the view direction and there is no visible cursor to select any cockpit item. I'm too stupid to know how to disable the view control and get a cursor to select cockpit items, at least the mouse column in the controls table is completely blank.

May be I am asking a stupid question as a DCS rookie - just started a few weeks ago. But where and how can I install the Eurofighter option?

Thanks !

Searching the forums did not show any matching results unfortunately. Is there any way to hide the stick in training lessons?

As a DCS rookie (just started Dec 2024) I still try to master the basic training lessons and keyboard / stick bindings. Is there any key to hide the stick and prevent it from disturbing the instrument panel? FYI: DCS running on Win11 workstation, Turtle Beach VelocityOne flight deck stick and throttle.
