As it is now, holding the F key allows us to use our mouse pointer on ship MFDs. Not only can we click on any part of the screen with a high degree of precision, we can also click and drag and adjust sliders. [How will this work with the new PI system?]asked by Aero Yuki

TL;DRIn a later release, not 3.23, they're looking at a free-look mode with the cursor shown on MFDs following your view, plus a possible focus mode for each MFD, hopefully soon.

So yeah, as I mentioned, in a later release, we're looking into having the free look mode, looking around the cockpit rather than using the cursor to look at all the different interaction points. So we're actually just looking at them in a sort of fluid motion. And then as part of that, we want to have the cursor show on the MFDs. So if you imagine you've got your visor, your view on your monitor, the center of that will dictate where the cursor goes. And it's just as accurate as when you're using it in interaction mode right now, if not a bit better, because you're focused on it always. And then also at some point, we're looking at being able to go into a focus mode on each MFD. So whilst you're looking around the cockpit, you can quickly interact with interaction points, with the prompts popping up and the cursor on the MFDs, click on things, drag on sliders. You can also then zoom into the MFDs. Again, not for 3.23, but hopefully soon TM.
