Cockpits were clickable, now they're not, what have I done?

As the thread title says gents. I must have done something stupid along the way but I cant figure out why my Spit cockpit is no longer clickable.

I have a lot of the main controls mapped to my Saitek HOTAS but not all, anyway, nothing works in the Spit cockpit now when I try to click anything. The cursor changes to the little hand symbol suggesting I should be able to activate it, but when I click, nothing happens.

Any ideas lads?

F10?

Nah, its not F10 ... that still works ok to swap between "modes". The mouse pointer wouldn't show up and change to the little hand symbol if F10 was the issue.

Cheers anyway

There is a "use item" key mapping, is that a possibility of had been changed? I am having similar issues, and yet haven't figured out how to get it back working either. Have no idea what the original default keys were anymore.....

Perhaps someone who has default keys could post the confi.ini ?

I've noticed that after playing for an hour or so my keyboard and/or mouse starts acting up. Some keys stop working and the mouse cursor disappears. A warm reboot does not help but shutting off the power and restarting does. There must be a nasty memory leak because even after quitting the game Win7/64 behaves strangely. I had to dumb down my BIOS to keep launcher.exe from crashing. Go figure....

EDIT:When I disabled Steam Cloud I lost most but not all of my axes/key settings.

Thanks Gents, Still have not worked this out unfortunately.

I tried mapping the left mouse button to "use Items" but that has not helped. I validated all files in Steam to see if anything had gotten corrupted, and I had disabled cloud before I started mapping keys a few days ago, so none of these seem to have been the culprit.

Rather frustrating.

I'm not following you mate. F10 is already set to Toggle independent mode. I have never changed or adjusted that setting in the controls menu.

When I hit F10 in game previously, it would toggle between modes where either the mouse pointer was visible or not. If the pointer was visible, I could click and activate levers in the cockpit. All was working as intended.

However, for some reason now, when I use F10 to toggle into that same mode, the mouse pointer still appears, the mouse pointer still changes into the little hand indicating that I should be able to operate a particular lever, but now, nothing happens when I click.

If I am missing something else please let me know, but i think you might be misunderstanding me perhaps. I am aware of F10 and the independent mode, but for some reason the clickable cockpit part has broken (or I broke it somehow...god knows how though).

I have exactly problem as you. Don't know what's up.
I'm using X52 but no SST.
