Alt-Tab double cursor.

[Panzerlang]

Full window mode, alt tabbing to desktop, go back to the game and there is now the game's cursor and the windows one. Game one continues to work normally.

Question:

"Why you all want to Alt Tab once you already fired up the game?"

Answer:

"Really? Ok, tldr: The game looks aweful when started with Win HDR running already.

So I have to start the game with Win HDR turned off. But then the game looks aweful.

So I have to Alt Tab in order to re-enable HDR in the Windows settings. Now the game looks normal.

Except now the game displays the mouse cursor in cockpit and external view, which can not be turned off.

When in menue view, you´ll have to deal with two mouse cursors now. Brilliant..."

I have the same issue.

1000s of reasons to alt-tab, like pausing the game to check an email or fiddle with windows audio settings

double cursor still happening in 004b!

Just had this happen with latest build for the first time.

Yes, the double cursor issue is still pending a fix.

Thank you. It's a real pain with dual monitors right now as when I use my mouse wheel in game to scroll, it also scrolls anything in the second monitor.

Just wanted to report that with 1.003b the Alt-Tab issue, as well as the double cursor issue, are fixed!!

Thanks!

I'll report back if anything changes but for now it's working perfectly 🙂

Same for me  
And is there a way for the mouse to leave the game screen and continue on the second screen? That worked with IL2 GB  
Thanks

Or is there a borderless windowed mode? To have the mouse cursor free on both screens.

To change sound input, from headphones to monitor, for example. Or pause and review some document.
