    This has happened only on ADW and on the last 3 times I got shot down. It's happened only with a Rata behind me, where my view suddenly goes wonky, and there is no way to reset it. On exiting the game the mouse cursor moves continuously.

    Watch the track with pilot view on. at the end the view says goodbye and there's no way to control this, so the inevitable.

    Has THIS (V4.08 ntrk) happened to anyone else

    This is incredible

    it would be horrible if cheaters could disable your view like that...

    Luckily it never happened to me!

    I forgot to mention that it hasn't happened with all Rata's I encountered.
    It first occured a few days ago, but I ignored it and deleted that track as I thought my PC had a mouse hiccup.
    Then it happend 2x tonight out of 4 Rata encounters. I usually start recording when the action commences, and here it is.

    Thinking I'd bumped my IR mouse, I turned the mouse on it's back, and it occured once again, so my tentative deduction is that the mouse view has been hacked as it occurs at THE critical moment of flying.

    Are you F'ing insane? There is no way anyone can hack your curser as to keep misbehaving after you exit the game, this is not a cheat, this is a pc problem and a BIG dose of paranoia!

    Are you aware that in the windoze programming interface you can 'hook' the mouse and make it do what you want from a remote location.
    I've done software development from the DOS days through Windoze years, using mainly Assembler (MASM32) Language, C, C++, and Visual Basic.

    No, its not paranoia , I said its a possibility and enquired whether anybody else has experienced this, on ADW or otherwise.

    Perhaps "there is no way" was a little extreme, but I find it highly unlikely that anyone would go to the trouble or even be able to send that kind of code through the game to target and grab your mouse, with all the cheating paranoia around here fm/dm cheats are easier and far more probable than malicious mouse manipultion.

    Yup, as said.. 'possible cheat'.
    If it has happened to others then maybe it might be - the reason for this topic to find out.
