cursor

[Lab Rat 3947]

my cursor disappears and the only way out after a sortie is to ALT F4

[grizz441]

Hit escape to bring up the clip board, cursor will reappear.  The reason it does this now is because some gamey fools were using the cursor as a gun sight.

Tried using the escape button, still no cursor. Have the clipboard mapped to a button on my stick.
Can open the game, pick a field, pick a direction and take off.
As soon as I call up the clipboard to hit the E6B there is no cursor.
I got shot down qiuickly. Called up the clipboard to end sortie, nothing. The only way to end sortie is the ALT F4.
???

Bring up the clipboard and hit H and move the cursor around hit H again move the cursor around.  See if you can find it.

 2 things could be happening #1 follow grizz's instructions,#2 you could have toggled the mouse to a controller by hitting the "H" key.

   So do #1 and then if the cursor doesnt appear do #2......  did I just say that....


 one more thing,even with the clipboard map open if you dont move the cursor it will dissapear.Accidently hitting the "H" key is often the most common cause of cursor issues.



    hope this helps.   seems grizz beat me to it,wasnt as funny as mine tho!!!!

in the mean time to end your sortie do this

1>  Press  "/"  to bring up the chat box
2>  Type ".ef" obviously without the quotes
3>  Press "ENTER"

That will do the same thing as clicking on END SORTIE

hitting the H key does bring it back.
But then the mouse controls my views.
Weird? 

[morfiend]

 options,preferences,views!   then uncheck mouse look and you shouldnt have that problem.

Thanx Morfiend.
Did what you said. Problem solved.
Now I feel kind of on the dumb side for not checking that.

 No worries LR,it's a relatively new addition to the game and not everyone is aware og that option.



  Just glad you got the cursor sorted out without having to resort to #2.........
