Hello!

During practices/quals/warmup, if I start telemetry sub-software and after
returning to the game, the interface won't allow me to change anything
(setups etc). Mouse-clicking just does not work at all and only thing I can
do is to quit or advance to the next session (where again nothing works in
set-upping). The problem stops if start completely start the game again.

Why is that? Anyone coping with similar problems? Any solution? Had no
problems with earlier F12002.

If you have a mouse with a spinner wheel for scrolling, try clicking on
that while in the menu screens. I sometimes get a similar thing where the
mouse pointer moves around but doesn't highlight the icon it's on top of.
A quick click of the mousewheel (mine acts like a button as wheel as a
wheel) usually brings the desired result and I can once again click on the
on-screen icons.

Unfortunately did not work. Problem related to mouse drivers perhaps?

dang... prior to F1c, I used to have lots of problems with the
telemetry and graphic tearing. I'd run some laps, go to the telemetry
screens, and then when I came back the screen would be flashing and some of
the textures would be missing or mis-shaped. For those problems, I had to
completely exit the sim and restart, just as you do with the mouse
problems.
Since I switched from Nvidia video cards, I have not had those graphic
issues. The lost mouse focus is still there, (wireless USB mouse) but, as
I said, merely clicking on the wheel button brings it back.
Thats all I have. Anyone else?

Just a thought... have you tried Alt-Tab? I know it --looks-- like the
game's in the foreground, but....

I have a similar problem everytime I first launch F1C. The game's running
fullscreen and everything looks right, but I have to Alt-Tab to actually
interact with it using the mouse or keyboard. Doubt it'll work, but it's
worth a shot!
