If I move the mouse, then look about with my head tracker, the white box won’t appear.
If I move the mouse, then press one of the hat switch buttons on my yoke, the box appears.
If I move the mouse, hit a hat switch button, then briefly move the mouse, the box won’t appear.

It’s linked to the hat switch changing quick views i.e. L1-L3, R1-R3, pilot view etc. I tend to press in the hat switch, which resets whatever view you are currently in to the pilot view.

I don’t have a console controller.

Reported in AAU2 and they are still open to vote on. They are logged with bug-logged so it looks like it is being stared at.

White dot visible since 1.33.3.0 (only partially fixed in 1.33.8.0 release version) - Aircraft & Avionics Update 02 Beta / AAU_02 Discussion - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

A bigger deadzone in my rudder pedals helped me a bit, but caveat emptor etc.

Yeah this needs to be fixed ASAP, super super annoying.
