reported Visual Recon cursor no longer in centre of screen or missing.

[jonsky7]

As per the title,

 

The visual recon cursor no longer in the middle of the screen, it is now in the upper left quarter, and is very small.

 

 

Thanks

Still the same in open beta 2.7.1.6430

Track and log file

 

dcs.log cursor.trk

Still the same

Hi @jonsky7 and sorry for the delay. I replayed your track and I cannot repropduce your issue. I see in your dcs.log file you're using a weird screen resoluion:

	['multiMonitorSetup'] = 'jb camera cougar';
...
	['fullScreen'] = false;
...
	['width'] = 6400;
...
	['height'] = 1442;

Can you try using a single monitor configuration to make sure your visual recon cursor issue is caused by multi-monitor configuration?

[jonsky7]

@Flappie Thanks for getting back to me, tried the single monitor config at 2560*1440, for me the cursor is still not centred

Thanks for the test. It seems you're having the same offset (negative on both X and Y axis) whatever the resolution you choose.

Please rename your "Saved Games/DCS..." folder and keep it as a backup, then start DCS. Does it fix the issue or not?

Once the test is done, you can get your custom settings and control bindings back: simply remove the brand new "DCS..." folder, then rename your backup folder as it was named initially.

Seems to have done the trick, thanks, 

though I'd love to know what file may have caused this.

Great! If you want, you can send me your backup folder in a zip. I'll look for the modifcation which causes this.

@Flappie Hello again, well the problem came back

So I deleted my saved games folder again and I was moving the files across one by one till I found the culprit when I had a brainwave, which is unusual.
I thought "I bet it's the SSAA setting" and you know what, it is exactly that!

If SSAA is set to 1.5 the cursor moves up and to the left and gets smaller, and if it's set to 2, it moves further up and more left and gets smaller still.

It must not get scaled back to proper size after the super sampling, could you pass it to the team?

I guess it's not going to be high on the priority list.

[Flappie]

Nice find! I'm able to reproduce this issue.

It's now reported.
