Solved Unable to move mouse to 2nd monitor
-
Hi all,
In other flt sims I always use my main monitor for the sim and my second monitor for reading the manuals. If I need to check something in the manual I usually just hit pause or escape and move the mouse to the 2nd monitor to scroll through the pdf. I’m having difficulty doing this with BMS for some reason. The mouse is determined to remain on the main screen
I’ve done a search of the forum and noticed others have reported having the same issue, unfortunately none of them mention a solution. Is there something blindingly obvious I’m missing?
I’m running 4.35.3 and have Borderless set in the graphics options and 1440 for the resolution.
Appreciate any pointers.
Cheers

Hi,
You need to Alt+Tab out of the BMS window

Yep, that works.
I knew it would be something blindingly obvious. Thanks @jayb -

@wallop There is also a parameter in BMS to avoid mouse exclusive capture…
Check the falcon bms.cfg in user folder
set g_bEnableExclusiveMouseCapture 0

Hm, I tried this setting. I have one monitor on each side of my gaming display. While in 3D on the middle monitor I can move the mouse cursor away from the middle monitor onto the one on the right, but not onto the one on the left. A bit unexpected, I will investigate
