[Bf-gamedev] FPS Navigation

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi Jason,

I'm actually doing just as you suggest, including hiding the cursor and
re-centering the cursor.

The only reason you see the cursor is due to a bug, to be tackled later
(basically if I move the mouse too fast that it goes over other panels, the
cursor shows up again).

When "Responsiveness" is < 1 I'm not re-centering the cursor entirely, due
to the damping system implemented (see the documentation in my wiki). That
plus a visible cursor may look strange indeed since you can't tell when I'm
moving the cursor and when what you see is the re-centering damping system
in action.
