Mouse cockpit stops working

[doveman]

I'm not sure but it might be after pausing the game and opening the briefing but whether it's that or not, something is causing the mouse cockpit to stop working mid-game, so that I can no longer look around or zoom with the mouse.

Try the disable aero setting.

 

I also had luck by changing my Window 7 taskbar icons to small versions.

Thanks, I'll try it although I've read reports of people having other problems with aero disabled so I'll try the small taskbar icons first. I don't really like them that small though so it's not going to be a long-term fix for me.

Tried both suggestions and neither helped, mouse cockpit is disabled after viewing the briefing.

 

I seem to recall this was a problem a while ago but that it was fixed. Seems like it's crept back in. Very annoying not being able to check the briefing whist in-flight :(

That's very strange, i've tested multiples times, and my mouse cursor always shown off...

As no one seems to have your problems (along with your radio/success problem too), it could be a corrupted installation issue or something else but ED's vinci code.

The only true mouse bug DCS had, was the "delay" (or until it passes over a switch) before re-appearance (in 1.2.1) But, ED took care of this "glitch" quite fast.

I modestly think we will need to wait other reports before having a chance of a aknoledgement and resolution :noexpression:

 

Did you tried alt tab while in fullscreen mode? i'm coming short of ideas, but there might be a conflict...

Thanks for testing. The problem was that the mouse cockpit no longer worked (i.e. I couldn't look around), not that the mouse cursor came on.

 

However, I just played a mission and it was OK. I disabled a couple of mods yesterday though (ConfigTweaksHIGHGeneric_v2.0 and SmallFX_v1.0), so it may have been something about one of those that was causing it. I'll have to do some more testing with them enabled/disabled and on other missions to see if I can narrow it down.

Yes the testing phases take a lot of time.

 

I don't have any mod atm, and even with that, sometimes bugs come from my system.

That's why I installed 1.2.1, 1.2.0 and 1.1

 

(be happy, 1.2.2 is an incredible advancement from 1.1 :))

[doveman]

Well it seems it only worked the once and hasn't since. I haven't re-enabled those two mods either.

 

I've tested using FaceTrackNoIR and the headtracking doesn't stop working after pressing Esc and viewing the briefing, it's just the mouse cockpit that no longer works.

 

Can't really use the sim at the moment as I often feel the need to check the briefing during flight and doing so makes my helo inoperational!

[doveman]

I've found that if I exit the Briefing screen by pressing Esc it doesn't break the mouse cockpit, so at least I've got a way to use the Briefing whilst flying now.

 

They should still fix this bug where it stops working after clicking Back or Fly though, as I'm bound to forget and click one of those sometime, ruining my mission.
