Mouse Pointer
« on: March 06, 2002, 02:58:48 AM »
Make the mouse pointer vanish if the mouse has not been used for a few seconds and make the pointer re-appear as soon as the mouse is moved once again.

I have seen other programs do this.  

Silly mouse pointer forever seems to be right in the way.

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but in case it has not......

Please Please Please!:)

Yep.  I agree.

I'd also like to hide the text box completely.  My squads on RW and I can hear chk6 calls.

You can move the mouse pointer off the bottom of the screen.

I'd rather have HTC adding more planes than spending time on a sub-routine that would save me a quarter second to flick the mouse down to get rid of the pointer.   Gotton quite good at moving the mouse with my elbow so the hand stays on the stick.

One of the reasons I don't fly with stereo glasses is 'cause the pointer dissapears and cannot be used w/ glasses...I hope it can be fixed by v3.0 :D

you no your mouse pointers just a bmp image in the ah folder right?

just change it to something that blends in with the background (sky) or reduce its size to 1/2 to 2/3 you wull never see.

Some things you can do for yourself. leave ht and crew to churn out the new terrains and planes and try to solve the picky roadkill yourself :)

this would just be useless, just put you hand on the mouse, and move the point to the bottom, you lazy bastards

No!  I use the mouse pointer as a firing reference in GV's.
