Mouse and Gamepad Still Fighting

I am on the PC and still having issues with controls after SU6. The mouse and gamepad (XBOX Wired) still fight with one another and only one can be in use at a time. Mouse cursor vanishes almost instantly in some planes and when using both control devices it resets position of the mouse and hides all input at times. It’s a MESS. This is still broken and while I can understand it being bugged I can’t see how something like this goes unnoticed and unfixed for four months.

I have people asking me why hasn’t Asobo fixed this issue. It doesn’t just effect mouse and gamepad either it effects other devices in general. Now I can work around this issue but again we never had this problem until XBOX release. Again it also effects XBOX users who are complaining about it too. Please fix this for SU7.

Your criticism sounds a bit harsh to me. I think you may need to check the settings of your gamepad. You could have some duplicate bindings?

Not being harsh at all just stating the facts. This was never an issue until SU5 and it has nothing to do with my hardware or peripherals or settings.

As above I’d check to see if you have duplicate bindings. You may not have set them yourself but they could be in there.

Sounds like your controllers are fighting with each other. You might not move the mouse/pad but a slight drift on what it’s reporting could give the feedback you are seeing.

I’m not talking about drift either sorry. I’m talking about the sim only allowing one of these devices at a time to function entirely. It’s a bug from SU5 rewrite and needs to be sorted.

Definitely a bug.

Easy test. Hold a turn with the controller. Mouse disappears. Let go of left stick on the controller, mouse returns.

REALLY convenient on take off.

**EDIT - Although it only seems to happen when controls are deflected more than 50%

I can’t replicate it at all. My mouse (cursor) disappears after two or three seconds if I’m not moving it, which is fine by me. Moving any of my controllers while the mouse is displayed makes no difference. Mine must be setup differently.
Clicking my middle mouse button (wheel) alternates between interacting and panning around. My game pad is only set for using the drone.

Curious how many devices are fighting with each other like this still after updates. I’m using a wired OEM XBOX controller which was working just fine up until SU5. It’s not a control bind issue either. We also have reports of the same bug on XBOX so it has to be the rewrite causing this.

I believe SU5 was when the Legacy control option was introduced? Are you setup to used the new cockpit interaction or Legacy?

You can see it here. I never stopped moving my mouse. It goes away when I apply over ~40-50% input on the left stick

**Edit - This is with an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller. Haven’t had time to check with Yoke.

Yeah this all started with SU5 and yes I am using Legacy mode.

That is indeed the bug and what is worse is some times you will lose the mouse entirely as if you clicked middle mouse button but it won’t actually come back. You end up clicking madly to try and recover from that mode. Then the camera can start acting really funny jumping around and essentially disorientating you or your stream.
