setting the site in vehicle with mouse cursor

[Karisma]

It has been a while since I played...but if I remember right, I use to be able to set my mouse cursor on the crosshairs of the GV (Whirbler, Oswind) and change the view, and the cursor would stay in place... When I try it now, the cursor disappears in a few seconds...Does anyone know how to fix that?

There is no "fix" for that.

The cursor disappearing was the fix to stop people from doing what you are trying to do.

Too funny!  Thanks...as I said, it has been a while.

Why would there need to be a fix for that??? That is in no way a hack, cheat, etc...you know what I mean. My Sharpie is my best friend and I hardly, if ever, use the pipper on the gunsight when I am engaging anything other than Buffs.

Try cutting a very small triangle out of a post it note on the sticky side end.  I would think that would work with you trinket players.

Or rather.... do it within the parameters of the game and earn it.

I got a kill on some kind of GV with a firefly from 5.2ish K out without using a marker.  (<--Totally bragging too)  It certainly would have been easier with some sort of a marker, but thats probably why it's disabled.  I had to use no zoom and I was probably halfway from where the markings end to the end of my visible sight.  I had to zoom my scope to see where my shot landed and then go back and adjust, it probably took almost 20 shots at a non-moving target.

So to put this in game terms, it would have been  much easier with a mouse cursor which is exactly why we shouldnt have it.  A cursor is sorta perfect, and would mostly disrupt gameplay.  I do not see a problem with marking something on your monitor though as a reference as it isn't "perfect" like a point on a mouse cursor.  I used a dot of ketchup on an AR234 as an impromptu bombsight before, so get creative!

Don't listen to INK when he recommends a permanent marker though...trust me....

This thread is a good example why gamey short cuts like magic markers on the screen need to be disabled in some fashion. Not sure exactly how this could be done, but a good start would be to limit all of the head up positions to be no higher than the top of the gun sight.

Those pilots were learn cheating the system won't make them a better pilot, it takes skill and practice over any enhancements.

Someone who has their gun sight so far up that they can pull less than the other guy for a shot definitely has an advantage. One of the big benefits to the Me410 coming up is the fact it has such a large viewing area, but this is made much less enticing by the fact that so many aircraft already have the ability to place the viewing angle far above the gunsight and still have a stable gun platform.
