What are these tiny red arrows in the center of the JHMCS

[EmJay22]

After performing a CV cold start and landing at Rota for some gas, I managed to do something and then saw this.  I didn't go thru the procedure to align the JHMCS (as I was getting bored!) so suspect it's related.

You activated Cockpit Visual Recon Mode

My controls set up shows "Enable visual recon mode" for MOUSE_BTN2 and it is not mapped to anything else. It does not make those red things show up. When I press mouse button two in game, nothing happens.

 

I do have Force cursor to show, toggle which is set to LACT + C also set to a mouse button so I can look around the cockpit when not using TrackIR, such as when trying do a lengthy manual cold start. That does not produce those red things.

By default, if the yellow mouse cursor is turned off, a right mouse button click activates the red crosshair. A left mouse button click spots units/deactivates the crosshair.

It's because you've marked Mike_Romeo's post as "solution".

 

I think you have to double click middle mouse or mouse wheel (enable visual recon) to enter/exit visual recon mode. After that you bring up red crosshair with right click, and spot/mark with left click.

Maybe I accidentally marked it so instead of just "liking" that he responded.  I will need to play with it some more to try to duplicate it.  

Double click scroll wheel, then click Mouse button2.    

 

Thanks
