Is it possible to have the mouse pointer disappear after a few seconds of non-movement? This is done in just about every game but AH.

Good idea SkyVon!

It bugs me always sliding my mouse over to get rid of the pointer, and then if the cord binds it comes back on screen...etc.

Amen. Break turns on a mouse cursor are a bit annoying, if not embarrassing.

(and no matter how often you hide it, the rudder pedals or a glass or something hits the cord and brings it right back out)

Can it be toggled to be permanently on or disuse timeout? i use it to mark range on my tank gun sight.

I don't see why they couldn't have a setting for it but I think your in the minority here regarding mouse usage while in flight.

It is not necessary to start any timer based on mouse movement. AFAIK right mouse button could do the work. One click and mouse enabled, a second click and mouse dissabled.
