My suggestion for new system mouse pointer (solve click precision with TrackIR)

[Legolasindar]

First of all, sorry for my bad english. This is not new suggestion, i make this in 2013, but today DCS have the same problem. One of the big problems we use those peripherals such as TrackIR, FreeTrack, FaceTrackNoIR and others, is that when you press buttons, it becomes difficult to hit fast and well, since these solutions suffer from low precision and shakes, depending on us to use, and is accentuated more with more toward the edges look.

This is because our mouse is anchored in our sight, and all movement is reflected in the mouse.

 

An easy solution to this, is to anchor the mouse to the buttons in cabin. This means that the mouse always this fixed at the same point with buttons, no matter where we look.

Thus, although we have low accuracy or shakes, our mouse always pointed where we want.

 

In this image show the concept, I hope you understand.

 

 

...BMS's mouse cursor usually works just as same as DCS when it is not over any clickable switches, It just keeps same XY coordinates on the screen. When it "slowly" reaches close to a switch, it will gravitate and anchor to a switch. Like golf ball goes into a hole when it reaches the edge of it. After the cursor anchor, it stays in the center of the switch even you pan your view. Moving the mouse with an appropriate speed, the cursor leaves the switch and back to normal behavior. If cursor approaches or flies over a switch with an appropriate speed, it will not gravitate nor anchor to it.

 

For better explain look any Falcon BMS 4.33 video in youtube, you can see this old and nice technique running very very well.

 

 

And to keep the mouse pointer around the cabin, where the mouse pointer reaches the edge of the screen, the screen drag the mouse pointer, so you will not miss it for the cab.

 

I think it's an easy and good solution, and could put as an option, ie you can use the classic or the new system, with a selector in the Options Menu of the simulator.

 

I hope ED note my solution and to seeing you soon in any upgrade, thank you.
