Damocles Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm sure it's been asked before but I can't find it, sorry. How do I stop the mouse pointer from straying outside the game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 In DCS GUI, under VR - put a checkmark in " Confine Mouse to game window" Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Or just alt-enter and go full screen. Legend has it that it also helps with performance.

johnco61 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I have had this ticked since it was implemented a while ago but it doesn't seem to work for me, i thought it was broken!! I always alt enter. Can anyone confirm that keeping the pointer in game actually works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always alt enter. Can anyone confirm that keeping the pointer in game actually works? It might be broken. I had mine ticked when I checked, I knew I'd seen it somewhere. That said, since I unticked it and ticked it again I haven't had an issue, all be it with only about an half an hours testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWC_Alamo Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have this issue as well, even with the "confine the cursor" box ticked and running in full screen mode, it doesn't keep the cursor from moving out of the DCS screen. I run more than one monitor and it is too easy to move the mouse too much so Windows looses focus. I try to only use the buttons on my HOTAS for mouse control, but often forget and grab the mouse. I have tried reducing the DPI on the mouse to a minimum and even thought of installing the mouse in a captive dock while flying DCS.

Are you just ticking the full screen option? Need to be sure and do ALT+ENTER to get true full screen.

When DCS starts in VR with the Vive, it is only partial screen even with the USE FULL SCREEN ticked. I then press ALT+ENTER to make it full screen.
