To the Devs, input cursor.

Please, please release the cursor input from the HMD input. Please.

We need a option to turn that off.

To be clear, mouse cursor, and HMD cursor need to be separate.

Thank you for EVERYTHING else.

+1!

VR doesn't seem to be getting much love recently from the devs.

I feel the same way.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here,

but, isn't that the "Use Mouse" option under the VR tab (settings)

I use a Logitech track ball for manipulation of the mouse cursor, that way I don't have to directly look at an input object (switch, etc.) to actuated it.

Makes things so much easier!!

Even with use mouse on, the cursor moves when you move your head. Therefore, when trying to manipulate a smaller switch, if you move your head, the cursor comes off the switch. You end up having to hold your head steady to accurately use the mouse.

It would be really neat to have multiple cursors. I think that's what you're suggesting?

The present cursor, the blue cross, could remain as a "screen-space" cursor. This would be visible when GUI elements appear or if permanently enabled as an option.

The new cursor, which could be some other shape (a red X perhaps,) would be a "world-space" cursor. It would remain where placed in 2D vector space, regardless of the user's head position. The overly cautious will immediately (correctly) recognize that this cursor would be easily "lost." I think that could be mitigated by simply adding an arrow that appears at the edge of the screen whenever the cursor is off-screen and moved. (With a very short display timeout so as not to become annoyingly over-present.)

Sorry, my mistake, I haven't been in a "clickable cockpit" in a while as I've been doing the Su-25T mission sets for my videos, plus just never enough DCS World time. :doh:

Yes, something has changed, as I remember it anyway. Now the mouse cursor is tied to the HMD tracking.

Really annoying to say the least. :puke:

So, yeah I agree, it would be really, really nice to have the true "mouse cursor" back!!

:protest: :ranting: :D:D
