Flickering Mouse Cursor

[kingnorris]

Anyone else have this issue after the last update? My mouse cursor flickers so bad, makes flight almost impossible. I can't click on certain knobs and dials. Googling didn't help much.

Now that you brought this up, yes, I have had it happen.  I can still click on things, however, it is a touch difficult and very annoying.  I've also seen the cursor turn into a round white dot (best way to describe it)

You may have already seen this, but if not take a look. Hopefully it’ll help

Yes I saw that. So far, I disabled DX12 and went back to DX11. My current flight in progress; no flickers yet.

I am having the same issue (for a while) and it is getting worse. It seems to be some interaction with the JOYSTICK ! If I unplug the joystick while in flight the mouse pointer flicker is gone allowing clicks. Then I re-plug to joystick but the problem returns. It is really annoying! I will try your suggestion to switch to DX11 and see what happens. Will report back.

Update: DX11 vs DX12 ==> no difference;  Window mode vs Full screen mode ==> no difference (mouse pointer still flickers unless I unplug the joystick!)

One question KingNorris; are you by any chance using a Saitek X52 joystick?

Yes, as a matter of fact I am. The flickering is now happening when I use the brakes (the trigger)

Thanks for replying. I wish it was only while using the brakes. What fix it for you?

I have not been able to use the "official" drivers for the X52 and have to use the default driver provided by Windows 11.

So far, just reverting back to DX11 fixed it. (knock on wood)

When I see this, I need to wigle my rudder pedals to make it go away.

Seems to relate to control axis inputs.

I don't have rudder pedals myself, so that's not it.

Experience the exact same problem. I too am using the Saitek X52 joystick. I'll try the DX11 trick right away.

[Wothan]

This occurs both with DX11 and DX12.

Also other axis than rudder can cause this.

Explain? 

[kingnorris]

Looks like this latest update fixed the issue. I turned off “show white dot” in Settings>General>Accessibility  and all’s well so far.

 

FINALLY!
