Issues fixed

Cursor missing in certain menus

The mouse cursor may disappear in certain menus such as the Aircraft Select screen. When playing the Windows Store version, Steam's desktop configuration can confuse the game between X-Input devices and your keyboard/mouse. This fix can also resolve issues with re-binding controls.

Disable Steam's desktop configuration for your controller

Run and open Steam. Turn on or connect your controller. At the top-left corner, click on Steam. Click Settings. Click Controller. Click DESKTOP CONFIGURATION. Click BROWSE CONFIGS. Under the Recommended menu, click on Disabled. Click APPLY CONFIGURATION. Click DONE. Click OK to close the settings window. Launch the game and test by going to the specific menu that causes the cursor to disappear. Alternatively you can also close Steam while playing the Windows Store version of the game.
