I must be missing something here! I really dont see what would be gamey about not having a mouse cursor or a smaller cursor would help with anything! Last i checked on mine i can roll cursor to the edge of screen and its not visable! Not trying to bust anybodys chops just asking what im missing!
In some aircraft you can raise your point of view up so that the center of your screen (where your bullets go) is above the gunsight, so that you can't even see the crosshair anymore. That would seem to make raising your view pointless for gunnery, but the mouse can be used as a gunsight that's just as effective as the standard gunsight of the aircraft. Before raising the view up, the player moves the point of the cursor over the crosshairs, and holds it in place with the 'h' key. Then he can raise his view up over the standard gunsight, and still have a point of reference with an over-the-nose view for deflection shooting that can only be compared to having your face pressed up against the front panel of the canopy.
First you set the cursor over the center point of the gunsight:
Then you move your view up and over the nose of the aircraft:
And voila... The only task that's left is to change the mouse's appearance to a dot, or something that looks more like an aiming reference.
