White border overlayed over avionic screens (Xbox controller)

On MSFS 24 (PC) I’m having an issue where a white border appears around avionics screens when looking around the cockpit using an xbox controller.

I have the two settings that were added to fix this in 2020 turned off, i.e. “show the white dot cursor in freelook” (off) and “allow 2d cursor on all peripherals” (off). Interestingly I’ve noticed there’s two instances of the first of those two settings that do not seem to toggle each other, one under General > Flight Interface > Global Settings. The other under Accessibility > Effects and Animation > Cursor Settings.

This is happening on pretty much every airplane and it’s an immersion breaker to the point where I struggle to use the sim. It’s a deal breaker immersion wise and I wonder if it could be fixed, or at least an option provided to remove it?

Can someone please explain the design decision to not have an option to at least remove it? Because this is so immersion breaking I’m considering going back to 2020. It’s a bit of a dismissive action towards those faced with having to use Xbox controllers on pc.

That’s my post. I’d also like an option to toggle it off. It’s incredibly annoying. Could we please have this mentioned to the devs to see if that might be possible in the future?

I would suggest to create a wish in the Official Microsoft Flight Simulator > Wishlist for this request.

Done, thanks!
