reported White Mouse Cursor Won't Go Away

[wilbur81]

Since yesterday's update, the white mouse cursor will not go away in the cockpit... even when I've not brought up the radio menus or engaged the clickable cockpit yellow-plus cursor.

I have noticed the same since a while ago.  Definitely since before today's patch.  It seems to happen after you have used the radio menu once.

Here's how it works from my end:

 

1/ Mouse view inactive

- when the Radio menu is not active, my cursor is in the form of the "yellow plus",

- when the Radio menu is active, my cursor is in the form of the "yellow plus" except when it's in the vicinity of the Radio menu, where it turns to the Windows' white arrow.

 

2/ Mouse view active

- when the Radio menu is not active, my cursor is hidden

- when the Radio menu is active, my cursor is in the form of the Windows' white arrow wherever it is on the screen.

 

Do you observe the same behaviour?

I fly in VR.  I did a few more flights the other night where I could not replicate the issue.

Tonight I will do a few more tests and I will report back if I am able to replicate it.

[Mud]

Okay well, I have not been able to reproduce it so far.

 

In VR:
You have the cyan cross when moving the mouse.  Once you open the radio menu, you get the while dot.

The problem was the white dot staying around even when the radio menu closed.

 

I though SRS could have been a factor and I have tried with both it off and on now.  But all is well.

I will pay attention to it and if it happens again try to figure out what exactly I did to make it happen.

Here are two screenshots which show the issue.  As you can see the radio menu is not visible at the moment.

Moving the mouse brings up the cyan cross curser and makes the dot vanish, until the cyan cursor dissapears after x time of inactivity (as it should)

I should have put a marker in my screenshots.

 

In the first picture the pointer is just above the right eyebrow of the canopy.

In the second picture it's on the right side of the HUD.

This happens occasionally for me too. I'm not sure yet what causes it, because it's maybe 1 out of 5 flights or so where it happens, and most of the time it disappears like it's supposed to.

[Mud]

I think I found the reason, and solution.  At least I'm able to reproduce it on my end.

 

When you open the kneeboard, it will also bring up that radio mouse cursor.  If you then close the kneeboard while the mouse is at the edge of the kneeboard (like showing to increase/decrease the size of the window), then the pointer will not disappear or at least reappear once your main crosshair cursor disappears.

 

To solve it, open the kneeboard again and make sure the mouse is not at the edges when closing it again.

Brilliant, @Mud! I can reproduce this as well. End of the mystery.
