Hello
Does anyone know how to keep mouse visible when you start choosing a plane ?
Mine disappears in the black part of the screen (24 inches HD), and also in the picture of the plane . It's boring .
I also thought it was possible to view the plane from different angles when moving the mouse, but fot that, you need to see it !
I did not find the answer on the forum .
Thanks for help .

Hitting 'Control' will show you the location of the mouse cursor.

there is no way to keep the mouse "ABOVE" flightsim. It will also hide in the Black mat surrouding the "SELECT A--??" window, just as it hides under the spinning aircraft. Also, to my knowledge, there is no way to make the planes spin the other direction or up and down. Sorry.
I can not remember if you can do these things in FSX or not, and I really do not feel like booting it up just to see. Sorry.

On the Create-a-Flight screen in FS9 you can grab the spinning plane with your mouse and move it at your will....most of the time.
From time to time I cannot do this, haven't figured out why. It is random.
Haven't really spent a lot of time looking, suspect it is a video driver issue.
regards,
Joe

i stand corrected then. you learn something new everyday... but on the SELECT A--AIRPORT, WEATHER, PLANE, FLIGHT PLAN.... you cant do anything with the plane.

To grab the aircraft in the previews you must be running the sim in windowed mode (Alt+Enter to toggle). In full screen mode the cursor is not visible within the aircraft preview 'window'.
