Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, newest version as of 21.11.2024, played on Steam, PC
When using a mouse to look around or click buttons in the cockpit it’s impossible to make small, fine movements. Only bigger moves register.
I physically move my mouse a little but it does not move in the sim at all, need to make bigger movements for cursor/view to start moving.
Seems like the mouse has a big acceleration/deadzone. I use it to look around and it makes the sim feel very sluggish.
The sim has a fresh install without any mods. Tried to play around with mouse/camera sensitivity but it does not fix the issue.
I have VKB Gladiator NXT and Thrustmaster TFR’s plugged in

Sim update 2 beta, still not fixed.
Mouse still extremely sluggish
it’s even worse in SU2 for some reason. i kinda got used to it but after trying SU2 today it’s like they made the deadzone even bigger. i have to move my mouse like a cm before it picks up the movement.
Still not fixed in current SU2 beta
Issue still persists in newest beta
Yes, persists since launch.
SU2 release, still not fixed
Same here. The issue of negative mouse acceleration in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) has been a persistent concern, particularly since the release of Sim Update 5 (SU5) including a couple of threads regading this problem. This problem manifests as inconsistent camera movement speeds when panning with the mouse. Slow movements result in minimal or no camera shift, while faster movements cause the camera to swing excessively.
and here’s the kicker, it won’t change since it supposed to run on a slow console with a controler and there is no dedicated PC version.

Current SU4 beta, still broken
Tried some fixes myself:
-installed a fresh install of windows 11 with only the neccesarry drivers and sim. Issue still persists.
-did the same but with windows 10, still broken
-unplugged all my peripherials, does not help
Did more testing, installed MSFS 2024 on a different machine- laptop. Windows 11.
Issue is there on the second comuter too, both using the mouse and touchpad
I have good news as the devs reached out to me with some questions and the bug has been updates as logged, fingers crossed for an effective fix 
Current SU4 beta, still no fix
SU4 release, sensitivity still broken on both my PC and laptop. Small mouse movements do not register in sim

I THINK I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION
So I have been messing around with the settings. I cleared all the mouse bindings and made them by hand.
Instead of binding mouse movements as 4 seaparate top-down-left-right bindings I have bound them as two axis. AND IT FIXED THE BUG
The mouse is as precise as I can move it now, little mouse movements do register. Example of my setting here below.
Will be testing this more
