Cursor AI in MSFS 2020 refers to a feature that simplifies interactions with the game. When using Cursor Mode, it allows players to control various cockpit functions & settings using a cursor rather than physical controls, making it intuitive, especially for new players. However, players often wonder about its interaction with the AI pilot.
When in Cursor Mode, the AI pilot may auto-enable itself, which can lead to unexpected flight characteristics. Players have reported that when they switch to Cursor Mode, their aircraft's throttle may decrease, or the autopilot can behave erratically (as discussed in this
reddit thread). To prevent such issues, understanding how Cursor AI affects gameplay is crucial.
