"+" showed up?

Post by kberg »

Hi,

I was look around my Comanche 250 and had the shift 3 window open and maybe the shift 2 window, when a "+" showed up in place of cursor and then, wherever I moved the mouse it moved the screen to, as if I was looking there (kind of like a mouse track IR). I did not know what I touched, so I did not know how to get rid of it. I shut the program down and when I opened it, the cursor was back and it worked as it should.

Any idea what I did? It is a pretty cool feature, and makes looking around the cabin great :D . But I need to get back to the cursor and do other things.

Thanks,

Kent.

Kent,

'Mouse look' is a default feature of FSX and works just as you describe. I can't remember the default key command which switches it on and off, but you can check in the control settings under "Mouse - view direction (on)".

Cheers,
Nick

...Edit: I think it might be shift + O which toggles this, or holding the spacebar to enable the feature momentarily.

Thanks, Nick!

Right as usual :D shift+o is the combo, must have hit it when I was opening the different windows :oops:

Thanks again,

Kent

Glad Nick got you sorted, yes theirs the shift shortcut. I tend to use the hold space-bar and move mouse quite a lot as a handy way to look around and get place quickly.

thanks
