ISSUE DESCRIPTION Description of the issue: Even if you disable the “Center Dot” in the options, the center of the screen will still lock on to every clickspot and instrument, making looking around the cockpit extremely frustrating. Please look at how it works in MSFS 2020 — disabling the Center Dot…

Thanks for finally getting this logged, Chewwy. Should be a pretty easy repro for the team - Just load up a flight in any aircraft on Xbox, and pan over the cockpit instruments/controls with your controller. Watch them all highlight blue. Then try to set cockpit interaction to “Legacy”, and watch it…

It is a Center Dot issue. There is an option to enable or disable the Center Dot. This option is separate from the interaction type. However, regardless if you enable or disable the Center Dot, the center of the screen still locks on to objects. So the Center Dot can only be disabled visually but n…

White dot is just graphic visibility setting. The Legacy/Lock settings control wheter the freelook locks-on in cockpit (with our without white dot). Pls read my upper fs24 pc version experiment. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/xbox-disabling-the-center-dot-still-retains-its-lock-on-function/6…

In 2020 I never had to change the cockpit interaction system to Legacy. Simply disabling the Center Dot removed its lock-on functionality as well (after fixed, of course). On a controller it’s never been a thing to consider. Legacy interaction was only a thing for mouse players. The two things are d…

You are comparing FS 24 with fs20 that’s not my attitude, they are different products. I am comparing fs24 PC with fs24 Xbox version, which should share same settings and functionality. The PC version demonstrate the proper logic of settings - Legacy mode disables “lockon” and distrubute the interac…

@Ploodovic is right on this - They are definitely two separate issues. I think their correlation comes from the instinctive thought to change the cockpit interaction mode to circumvent/work-around the bug. But ideally, cockpit interaction in 2024 should be exactly as it is in 2020; White dot disabl…

@Chewwy94 That is awesome news! My love for this sim is often spoiled by this one flaw. Thank you!

We have a new SU coming any minute now. What are the chances XBOX users will finally have access to the “Legacy” and “Lock” options? Bets anyone?

Bet, fix wont be included :smirking_face::money_bag: I’m not going to event reinstall fs24 until confirmation they finnaly fix this shameful case. Update: seems like I won :smirking_face: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/cockpit-interaction-system-shows-although-set-to-legacy-and-off/757672?…

There’s a separate topic for not being able to change to Legacy mode on Xbox.

That’s not the problem here, it’s only a workaround. Lock mode should disable interaction when the cursor is not on screen. That’s the problem.
