Hmm... (bearing in mind that I'm about a week or so behind current cvs) with the mouse in 'normal' mode i.e. using joystick control input, hitting F3 moves the mouse pointer to the center of the screen. However, when I put the mouse into control mode, deflect the flight control surfaces and then hit F3 the mouse pointer is not moved, the controls stay where they were and continue to respond correctly to subsequent mouse movements. I'm updating now and I'll try again after I've re-compiled. I tried all this with the a/c just sitting at the start-up position on the ground. The way that the mouse pointer is centered when in normal mode seemed sort of suggestive. What happens if you: start FG, display the hud, put the mouse into control mode, make a half deflection of the control surfaces, so that none of them hit their end-stops, and then hit F3? Do the controls move back to their centered position or do they end up randomly placed?
