A tale of two cursors

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have an odd problem, and was wondering if its something on my side or a design feature. It concerns the mouse cursor.

 

I have a blueish cross when mousing around the cockpit. However, when I open the radio menu, the bluish cursor does not work on it. But if I move the mouse further up and to the right, a white dot appears, that does interact with the radio menu.

 

This is annoying. Is there a way for me to re-unite the cursors into one dot or cross to rule them all?

I'm with you. As far as I'm aware, there is not option for this. The blue cross is some interactor in the 3D scene. The white dot it the mouse representation on any 2D screen that is displayed in VR (like Options, Radio, etc).

 

For radios it's somehow feasible, you just have to move the mouse to the top right, where it will eventually appear. More annoying is the acknowledgment window when someone wants to join your flight on the backseat. It takes me hours to find the mouse in this case :cry:

I'll add my 2 cents.

There should be an option to use either one of them or give the option to combine them into one.
