Mouse widget focal distance to close

[Sparrowgun]

Sup dudes, I use my dk2 with the mouse widget turned on so i know exactly where my ship is pointing. Since 1.4 beta and now 1.4 actual, the focus distance is closer so I get a double dot when focusing to infinity. This is a complete pain in the butt.

Anyone else have this issue? I have seen it mentioned once in one of the patch release threads but can't find anything else about it. Surely with the number of players with dk2s some must have come across this.

Turning it off isn't really an option, I use it and have used it in the past where it was working properly. It needs fixing back to the focus distance it was in previous releases.

Came here to post this topic if it didn't exit. The mouse widget suddenly not being at infinity is extremely problematic. It's also a lot larger, now, too.

To use it as a display center pip marker, you have to unfocus so that it doubles and then look through it.

And, as Sparrowgun points out, turning it off isn't an option—it's a good feature that I've come to rely on to know precisely where the center of the display is. The only other option is to go around with some fixed weapons deployed so I can see their reticles.

THIS, i came here to ask if anyone notice this either. I reported it back during the beta and was REALLY hoping it would have been taken care of.
Here is my comparison i posted earlier. I'll leave it here in case someone needs a visual aid.



the widget is also crucial in centering the mouse. Which is why its so bad that it splits like this. While fighting and navigating we look out, and then having that dot and mouse arrow split makes my eyes spazz out.

Exactly like that Pyro! I didn't think to get screen cap.

I use it when super cruise to line up exactly with where I'm going, un targeted shooting when someone chaffs me and I'm using gimbles, docking at max speed through the slot and heaps of other times. It's not cheating so I wonder why they moved it.

The large fit in the T9 isn't so much of an issue but i have read they are looking into that.

FD bros, please move it back out to where it was! It needs to change back, it IS an issue.

Same problem, I saw it first with the 1.4 Beta. I removed it as it's painfull now. I think I can do without it, immersion seems even better without. Not a big deal for me, but I understand people who want it to be back as previously as it took several days before I forget it

Do you play with a joystick? Because I find it really hard to center my mouse without that widget. A joystick automatically centers itself back to 0. You push the joystick up, let go and it centers to 0. A mouse doesn't do that, and the widget shows you how much you need to pull back on the mouse to get back to 0. It's really hard to fly without it.

Or maybe i'v come to rely on it too much. I'll go turn it off and see if my "talent" kicks in and compensates for it. Or maybe it's time to get a cheap little joystick. We'll see i guess.

Yes, play with X52 from day one, better for immersion IMO. So yeah, I understand if you're using a mouse, the widget problem should be far more painful.
