When I am in the Cockpit view (not the virtual, but 2d), there is usually a weird popping noise. I think it has something to do with my mouse, because in the virtual cockpit view, when I move my mouse, it pops. Very strange. Anyone have an Idea of what to do?

thanks,

How old is your mouse? I think that if you've got an old mouse, with say a faulty connection, wouldn't it result in something like that?

I've been wrong before though...lol

I have the same problem if my mouse cable runs too close to my speakers or speaker cables. The output of the mouse is enough to cause interference in my system.

I know most mouses, meces, mices, use 5v @ 15mA. I wouldn't think there's enough voltage there to cause any type of line noise.
Is it? ???

Certainly does on my system, poor (cheap) insulation on both cables I guess.

It's not old, only two or three years. I don't think it's the insulation because it is only when my pointer is visible. like I said, it's weird.

Suprisingly enough it can! (But it would be a constant 60cycle hum unless there was an arc)

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!

Yeah, darn thing sounds an early light sabre on crack if it gets too close. When I first got my system I thought it was dead before I'd got it out of the box but I worked it out soon enough.

I have the same problem, mainly on prop liners.
