I've searched but cannot find the answer I am looking for. If there is an answer and I am not using the right search parameters, feel free to correct me and show me a link.

 

The issue doesn't happen all the time. However, occasionally FSX will start up fine, the flight loads fine, and when I pan around the virtual cockpit, I am not able to select knobs, switches, dials, etc. I can see my mouse cursor, but it doesn't change to the hand when over a switch, knob or dial. I am looking for an answer to this oddity.

 

My system is: W7 - 64bit | 8 gig | GT540M - 1 gig | No Overclocking | FSX service pack 2 | Firewall ON | FSUIPC: Free | UAC OFF | I set properties of the exe file to RUN AS ADMIN in Win XP mode

 

Thank you. I look forward to some ideas.

Your viewpoint has moved into your VC seat's headrest, and renders your mouse pointer unusable. Move your viewpoint forward a bit, your mouse should work just fine.

Moving the mouse forward did not solve the issue. The issue seems to be with the new MilViz 407 helicopter. It doesn't happen all the time, but when I load the 407 I cannot select the controls. Then if I load another aircraft it works fine. I am hoping to get a solution. I may post this as well on the Milviz site for further answers.

 

Take care and thank you.

Erm, not moving the mouse forward, move the whole viewpoint forward. Your headrest might be clipping into the view. Try it!
