Brief description of the issue:
Since the beta update, the ever-popular controller cursor/“white dot” is again unable to be disabled. Although there has never been a (much needed) method to turn it off completely, at least in the past we could usually do a work-around by clicking the left controller stick to bring up the menu at the top of the screen, press a direction on the d-pad, and click back out of the menu, which would hide the dot until the menu was again displayed or a connected mouse was used to point to something.
Since the update, I’ve noticed that the dot is incredibly difficult to hide with the work-around, which only works sometimes and only when in cruising flight. The right stick is used to pan the view, and the dot should not appear when doing this. At first nothing I did would work, then for no apparent reason the work-around worked once in a while, but moving the right stick would sometimes still cause the dot to reappear. Far worse was that once on final approach the dot reappeared interspersed randomly with the “top of screen” menu appearing (which disables the flight controls when it happens) and nothing would correct either of these problems until I abandoned the approach and climbed again, at which point it went back to the work-around sometimes, but not always successfully hiding the dot. The menu/dot craziness was so bad that it made a landing impossible as they kept appearing randomly and interfering with the controls.
This dot thing has been a problem throughout the life of the sim and it is far from just an irritant; when it gets as bad as it is now it makes the sim unusable when it rears its head. PLEASE implement a simple toggle to turn the dot functionality off completely! Those of us using keyboards and mice don’t need it anyway, but even so it still gets in the way of even those who exclusively use the controller.
