:white_check_mark: SIM INFORMATION

This is vital information for our test team, please do not skip it or your issue may not be able to be reproduced or fixed.

:white_check_mark: ISSUE DESCRIPTION

  1. Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
    N/A

  2. Description of the issue:
    When selecting “Legacy” for cockpit interaction, the setting always reverts back to “Lock” immediately. This setting cannot be changed. This causes issues as when moving around the cockpit in freelook, flight/instrument controls are highlighted by simply moving the camera over them (even when not in pointer mode).

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• I believe the OP is describing two separate issues. Whe I select “Legacy” mode, it simply revets back to “Lock”. I am also on Xbox Series X. I’ll raise the freelook issue in a separate post if there isn’t one already.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Description of the issue: While the Freelook “White Dot” can be disabled, doing so does not prevent the center of the screen from activating control and switches. The “Legacy” option (I think) would force MSFS 2024 to mimic 2020, where ditching the dot also ditches select-ability (desired behavior). The “Legacy” option “sticks” properly on the PC version. But on the XBOX, “Lock” returns the moment the user leaves the options screen.
