Ditto what Uptown said.  Just manually move the cursor off screen, when done.

What Grizz said. Not having a mouse wouldn't stop people finding a way to make an aim point.
In the old days of CRT monitors I always had a small black dot dead center.

With new LCD monitors you just use a sliver of tape with a black spot on it.

Just tuck the mouse away in the lower left or right corner as you start every sortie.

I'd definitely go to office max to pick out the best 'dotter' if it ever came down to it, hehe.

That does not work when I need the mouse to move the map around or adjust other settings from the clipboard. And it's a pain to do it when I'm trying to fly and fight.

I understand this can be worked around, but it's a computer, why should I have to do the work? As for the whole "center of the monitor" thing, why not ask for a separate feature that optionally puts a small mark / crosshair / customizable bitmap at the center of the screen if that's really desirable?
