Title: What cursor are you guys using?
Post by: Belial on November 24, 2010, 09:46:51 AM
I page up my head position for better visibility in almost every plane.

Can some of you post your cursors that have been changed to a gunsight please.

I had one made but lost it when got new computer.

Help!

You don't need a mouse cursor for a gun sight if you raise your head position in a plane.  Just raise your head view so that the piper is just below (and still visible) the top of the gunsight reflector.  This places the piper at eye level and allows you to easily see over the nose of your plane just fine.

I found another solution that works with just about everything and doesn't involve your cursor.  A black marker dot or small sticker on your screen.  No matter how far I move my head up or down it's still centered, and the best part it I can still move my mouse without worrying about resetting it before the bad guy shows up.  I used to do the mouse trick but this was much more convenient for me.  Only drawback is that I wouldn't do it with all screen types and it will bug you while doing other things with your computer but you eventually grow used to it :lol

Yes i've heard of the tape trick I just didn't want to do that...I did have a decent size black dot as my old cursor and it was great.

But when I try to do it now its translucent...

And AckAck in certain planes you can page wayy up like the mosquito, 110, and typhoon.

I like to fly paged way up as I'm a bad shot and need as much time as possible before they disappear under my nose.

That 16x16 cursor from the previous email you bumped in a different thread is working beautifully. Small enough to be out of the way.
