Please fix the issue of losing mouse pointer / control in hanger etc, on PC

I play with HOTAS and rudders for FLYING.... but I don't want to use it for all the time I'm in the menus, hangers, lobby etc. I'm sitting at a PC, so mouse will do nicely. 

However your current implementation keeps taking away the pointer and even at times removes all the options to change load outs from the hangar UI menu screen. 

PLEASE, can you have someone with a full HOTAS on your QA / Testing team? Because this wouldn't have passed at all if I was working for you. 

You have to understand that 99.9% of the PC Flight/Space sim players who have HOTAS will ONLY, ONLY use it when inside the cockpit - for everything else, keyboard and mouse is the most expedient and user friendly method of input. 

Your current system is an 'all or nothing' and doesn't understand that most people will have and use a mix at the same time. 

At the moment I have to spam the ESC key several times just to get the mouse pointer back, and even this it will randomly disappear. It's really frustrating, especially in the 15 sec count down when respawning.

  • @Elphaba I have this issue too and it's actually a bug. When the mouse pointer disappears, you have to press Escape to close all the menus and re-open it back to make the pointer reappear. I agree this needs a fix.
  • I am having the same problem, it would be great if input was taken from all sources so application does not need to spend time detecting which input source is being used.

  • Same problem here, the mouse pointer randomly disappears in various menus including the Hangar. It's rather annoying.
