Enabling Full Functionality in MSFS Cursor Mode
Did you know that your Yawman Arrow can be a fully functional way to interact with all the switches, buttons and dials in your virtual cockpit?
Cursor mode isn't ideal for things like FMC or MCDU programming given the need to hunt and peck at each letter or number you want to program, but it is perfect for keeping your hands off the mouse for other cockpit functions. To get the maximum performance from your Yawman Arrow in Microsoft Flight Simulator, make sure Allow 2D cursor on all peripherals is set to ON. By default it is set to off and will limit your ability to have cockpit interaction assignments. This setting is found under GENERAL OPTIONS --> ACCESSIBILITY.
Once that setting is switched to ON, you'll unlock the full functionality for cursor mode, which is activated under our default MSFS profiles with a center press of the thumb stick. We've deliberately mirrored the default Xbox controller assignment and Cockpit Interaction settings to the Arrow for maxiumum familiarity, but you should feel free to move the assignments to your own personal preference.
