The mouse pointer used to hide in FSX, when it hadn't been moved for several seconds. Unfortunately, nowadays it stays visible in my FSX screen. Has somebody got a clue why it won't hide anymore? It's pretty annoying if it stays visible.

You might try renaming your FSX.cfg file (to disable it) which forces FSX to build a fresh new one with all of the original default settings the next time you start up FSX.Sometimes doing that will solve mysterious issues such as you have described - no guarantees though.If that does not work, you can always just move the cursor off the screen so it is not seen.Hope that helps.

Often rebuilding a new fsx.cfg will fix a number of issues. Something else I have also found is that many problems can be related to the default flight too, so it's always worth deleting it and building a new default flight to as an early troubleshooting step.If that doesn't work, I suppose you can always move the pointer up to the top right hand corner.IAN
