White to Gray Mouse Cursor

Post by Sky_King »

Hi All: I must be having a senior moment. My mouse cursor (driven by a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse) all of a sudden has started doing the following:

1. the white arrow changes to a gray one;

2. the white selection hand changes from a full size hand to a gray, shrunken, ½ to ¼ size hand when put over a switch, knob, etc.

This happens in a 2D cockpit (don’t use VC yet) and while the cursor display changes as above, the gray cursor works fine in selecting items, etc. I have tried searching on a number of phrases like “gray mouse cursor in P3D’, etc without luck. Have also tried turning on/off “Enhanced Mouse Control” in the P3D UI as well as many mouse button combinations without success. I also couldn’t find anything in the SDK that helps. My config is in the signature below.

Anybody have any suggestions as to what I can do to stop the change to gray?

Many thanks!

@ Sky_King ,

When viewing posts in this forum and moving the mouse around is your mouse cursor correct?

HI Vaughn:

Yes, the mouse cursor displays/works correctly outside of P3D with all other applications.
