markturner1960 Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Hi, I managed to resolve this annoying issue - it is caused as best as I can see by selecting the option "cursor confined to game window" I had this selected, thinking it was keeping the cursor within DCS....but it appears that it is the cause of losing the mouse and getting all those "window out of focus" messages and not being able to reach switches etc at the edge of the pit..... I deselected it and Voila....everything is cool..... Hope this helps.....

In my experience, unchecking that box can lead to all sorts of issues with the mouse activating things on the desktop etc. 1 Intel i7 12700K · MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 4090 · ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A Wi-Fi · MSI 32" MPG321UR QD · Samsung 970 500Gb M.2 NVMe · 2 x Samsung 850 Evo 1Tb · 2Tb HDD · 32Gb Corsair Vengance 3000MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · Tobii Eye Tracker 5 · Thrustmaster F/A-18 Hornet Grip · Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 Base · Virpil Throttle MT-50 CM3 · Virpil Alpha Prime Grip · Virpil Control Panel 2 · Thrustmaster F-16 MFDs · HTC Vive Pro 2 · Total Controls Multifunction Button Box
markturner1960 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Posted January 12, 2021 Well I only had one flight to test for approx 45 mins and had zero issues.....the last flight I did before the change, I had maybe 30 instances of “window out of focus” message and losing the mouse.....This weekend will give me a chance to properly test, but I generally minimise everything anyway. If it continues like this I will be a happy man as this was my major bugbear with VR......

A A ron Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 Also move the task bar to the side instead of the bottom as well as unchecking the option "confine curser to game window." The task bar is easily opened on the bottom while playing vr for dcs. Moving the task bar to the side puts it far from the vr gaming window.
Rosebud47 Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 The only working solution for me is, switching the DCS window on the desktop into full screen mode by clicking ALT + Enter. AH-64D Apache / F-16C Viper / F1 Mirage / Mi-24 Hind / F-14b Tomcat

Yup. That's what I do too, because even if you have "cursor confined to game window" selected, its still possible for the cursor to jump outside it just long enough for you to click on something. I find this happens when flipping switches to the rear of the left and right side consoles. ALT + Enter makes it so that never can happen. 1 EVGA Z690 Classified, Intel i9 12900KS Alder Lake processor, MSI MAG Core Liquid 360R V2 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB DDR5 6400 memory, EVGA RTX3090 FTW3 Ultra 24GB video card, Samsung 980PRO 1TB M2.2280 SSD for Windows 10 64-bit OS, Samsung 980PRO 2TB M2.2280 SSD for program files, LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray burner.
