BUMP and lets hope SU12 has this issue FINALLY sorted…
If not then we are going to need someone to hack it out. I was hoping the Flow Pro addon would be able to address this but so far it seems hard coded. Anyone know if the entire UI can be disabled to bandaid this or something? Need to disable all draw calls from gamepad if possible. Or maybe hack it out with a transparent overlay. Anything at this point.
Oh wow, this is still a thing ? Hard to grasp.
I Hate it and It annoys me

I love it, works flawlessly in 2D, thank you!
But sadly, not in VR. 
I used the fix where I assigned click left stick to parking brakes, and dpad left for cursor toggle.
In the latest beta the white dot returns as soon as you move the camera.
This is absolutely bonkers, in 2023, that basic ui issues can’t be sorted by a AAA studio…
Be patient, the game is only 2.5 years old. 
…
This is driving me insane in VR as well…
Came here now just to say this. Now the white dot persists even when using the assigned button fix!
It’s absolutely frustrating, infuriating. They must simply hate controller users. There’s no acceptable explanation for this.
Makes me think that they did this now absolutely on purpose. They want to force this no matter what.
We found a “fix”, so now they just did something to make sure we simply can’t hide it anymore.
At this point there’s no excuse.
HAHAHA this made me laugh love it
Would be nice if Flow Pro could fix the White dot issue. Really does suck having to run an external app or exe to fix a UI issue but here we are.
Why don’t you use the tool to hide it? Check out Stechbock’s post above.
I’m playing on Xbox Series X.
Fair enough
Just commenting so the post never closes.
This is insanely dumb, can’t count how many times that stupid thing gets locked on a dial. I have a mouse and keyboard, don’t need a dot to show me the center of my screen..
Never have never will.
Someone please make a marketplace mod and I’ll gladly pay..
Please and thank you.
The white dot actually caused me to crash yesterday.
I was doing a loop in the F15 and while pulling back on the stick at the back of the loop the white dot appeared and was over a button, which for some reason negated any control input I applied causing me to fly straight into the ground like a fu%#ing dart!!!
A fix would be great… lol
So if that was the reason of the crash and you survived it, then i suppose you will be questioned by FAA, maybe they will adapt safety regulations so there will be a switch to hide this anomaly of white dot. 
What if I lose my pilots licence…
I logged this bug again as a new instance, seeing as there was a working workaround before the su12 beta, and it’s been logged, so hopefully the fix is forthcoming…
I’m absolutely distraught that sim update 12 made it so you can’t get rid of the dot anymore. It’s straight up game breaking. I’m on Xbox with a controller and I don’t think I can play this game anymore. It’s mind melting this is still a thing. Please Asobo, please.
I flagged it when the SU12 beta first dropped as a new instance of the old bug, and that report is now flagged as ‘bug logged.’
Hopefully that means there will be a fix soon.
They just hate controller users. That’s the only plausible explanation at this point.
Next time I’m sure they will do even more. The white dot will be permanent, no matter if not moving the analog stick, causing burn in to OLED displays.
Then, in another update, they will make it bigger and also permanent even when using a mouse.
Finally, in another future Sim Update, we will have just a huge white dot in our screens and they will then call this “Microsoft White Dot Simulator 2025”.
It will be fantastic!
