Splash Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I got to sit down and actually play through a mission over the holidays, but found myself annoyed. In the current version (4.162) the white arrow cursor keeps reappearing in the middle of my view. I'm not using the mouse. I use Track IR ... but I did a little testing and found that this also happens with Track IR disabled and using a joystick for view control instead of the mouse. This is difficult to explain without a video or screenshot ... but the cursor doesn't appear in screenies, so ... When in F1 view (any position -- TC, gunner, driver) looking around inside the tank or unbuttoned ... and also in the optics -- F2, F3, etc. -- the cursor eventually pops into the center of the screen. Sometimes it takes a few seconds. I can move it off the screen with the mouse, but when I change my view (Q or Z for example) it immediately reappears in the center. Moving the view or optic on the x axis with the joystick temporarily makes it disappear, but it immediately reappears. This is very annoying and distracting -- especially when the big white arrow pops up in the center of gunnery optics. I'm not sure when this started happening, as I didn't get any actual mission sim time in versions 4.160 and 4.161 ... but I'm positive it wasn't persistent in 4.159. In 4.159 and prior -- using Track IR -- the arrow cursor would only appear if you moved the mouse, and would disappear if you moved an x axis. Again, I'm using Track IR for F1 views ... and principally the joystick for optics views. If no one else is seeing this, I'll continue to troubleshoot my own setup. I think I ruled out a false signal from my HOTAS. My next step might be trying a new mouse, or at least moving it to a different USB port. Maybe it's sending an otherwise undetectable signal. ? It's just your basic, run-of-the-mill 5-button optical mouse. It's also my first go at playing since installing Windows 10, so I can't discount that as a clue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jartsev Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 We will try to investigate this, but at this moment I'm not able to reproduce issue. It's rather doubtful if problem is Win10-specific, but such connection cannot be ruled out completely... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Yeah, I guess I'm quick to blame Win10 because I don't trust it, and this is the second SB problem I've seen since moving from my beloved Windows 7. But I found the culprit: I had forgotten about my CH Throttle's microstick, which I never use but was still set as a mouse emulator. I de-programmed that function in the CH software, and the persistent cursor seems to have gone away. The microstick had a huge deadzone, but still must have been sending a signal that SB interpreted as mouse movement. So, thanks for looking, but nothing to see here. Move along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
