That cursor (and something I didn't know)

Postby zcottovision » Sun Apr 20, 2003 8:58 pm

So I was coming in to land at Liverpool airport in my Cessna, and somehow I must have hit a wrong button on the keyboard. All of a sudden, the viewpoint would move with the mouse. If I moved the mouse to the right, "I" would look right. And vice versa! Particularly cool stuff, I thought. Found out that the "wrong button" was F12, and it works a treat. Especially with a wheel mouse...it's almost like being in the plane! Not sure if it works without Active Camera, but everyone should have that already......!

So now I'm wondering: Is there an option within FS2002 (or an external program) that will hide the cursor at all times?

I believe you had Active Camera going there. You can move left and right, plus back and forth with the wheel.

Have you got the keys relocated ?
f12 in the default configaration is the right brake !? Howcome ?

Did this happen only once ? if once, then it can be only a glitch in the program;

I would love to have this acessiblity if it works; + a wheel mouse is not a problem for me ! ;) ;D
