joey45 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Have you ticked that aero thingy tick box thingy in the options...? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

tusler Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Yes I have exactly the same problem, with every single module, when I start the mouse is a yellow cross and does not do any thing. I have everything set to run as administrator, UAC is off anyway. I left aero checked in the options. The only thing I have found that works is I ALT + TAB out of the game after I unpause it then go back in and the mouse and everything works like it is suppose to.

Corvus Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) I had the same problem, my solution was leaving "disable aero blah blah" unchecked (strange as i have aero turned on). Now i don't have to ALT+TAB to get my mouse working. Same thing happened in 1.2.0:) Edited October 5, 2012 by Corvus My YT channel https://www.youtube.com/user/corvuscorp81

SkateZilla Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 i fixed it/bypassed it by making a cursor file using the ED cursor and making a windows theme w/ the same cursor as the game, so instead of flickering between the "+" and windows cursor. i get the "+" all the time :P. it's by no means a fix though.

tusler Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I unticked the aero box in options and it all is working ok for me now. Ask Jesus for Forgiveness before you takeoff :pilotfly:!

JAPman Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I use SoftTH for RADEON7970 and am playing on square 3 screen. If aero is cut, a center monitor's focus will shift and cursor will point at a desktop in 1/3 of left sections. So, I am making it keepComposition=1 by the config file. And, in a new dialog, it cannot end by the Q key of a keyboard, either.

wmilosh Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Glad I found this thread! I've been having the same issue for three days. What I've been doing is clicking the mouse near the left console. That causes the screen to minimize. When I maximizer again all is well.
Shein Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I seem to be having this issue as well, but for me it goes a step further: I can't use the mouse to look around the cockpit, or an external views either
Corrigan Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 A related (very minor) issue is that the (windows) cursor is visible in F2 view. Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5
Shein Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 can you still rotate your camera ok with the mouse?
Shein Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 latest update fixed the unable to pan issue for me. Cursor problem still persists, but I can click things fine so TBH I don't really care about it anymore.
PeterP Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 >>> This isn't a Softth bug - it's a DCS internal issue when Aero is disabled. You resolve this without Softth by alt-tabing in and out... since alt-tabing is no option with SoftTH, you will have to make sure than aero is switched on while SoftTH is running. Check-list: Windows: Aero Desktop theme is in use config.SoftTHconfig: Keepcomposition = 1 DCS: "Disable aero interface" is unchecked
GregP Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Wow, quick response! Right after I posted my complaint I remembered that I read earlier somebody mentioning trying keepcomposition=1 ... I tried, and problem solved. So I quickly came back and deleted my post, only to after that find that you'd answered my question. Oh well .... thanks!

Hummersepp Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Hi Folks I can also confirm that the ALT TAB workaround Works but then another issue occurs with Black buildings in TGP See my Post under http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=95640 Kind regards Hummersepp
GregP Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 The 'keepComposition=1' fix is no longer working for me. I have explicitly followed your instructions, PeterP: 1) Aero theme selected 2) Disable aero theme unchecked in DCS 3) keepComposition=1 set in config.SoftTHconfig And still, I cannot click on the menu that pops up when I hit 'esc' in a mission. This is on 1.2.1-6288. For the life of me, I can't think of a single thing that changed since I had this working a week ago -- other than that I changed Radeon drivers from 12.9 to 12.11 beta. PeterP, any ideas?
PeterP Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Hm...Beta drivers ... yummy,- what a nice Idea ,are you getting now better FPS in Call of Duty ?! ...nevermind. My idea : just revert the drivers back. TIP (IF you aren't doing it already) : Always create a restore-point before diver changes - so you can easily revert back within minutes.
GregP Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Actually, I am indeed getting better FPS in Dishonored, Cliffs of Dover, AND DCS. :) But yes, obviously I could try rolling back to 12.9 ... it's just that I'd really prefer not to. And so I was wondering if there might have been something obvious that I was overlooking. I just can't believe that this worked a week ago and now doesn't. Seems impossible that new graphics drivers could affect this, but ... I guess I have to try. Damn!
