Hi, we'd need some more information before we can help you:
- what OS (Windows Xp/Vista, Mac etc.) are you running?
- what FlightGear version do you use?
- what graphics card do you have?
- does the problem occur with any aircraft, at any airport?
- where did you download your aircraft/scenery from?
- is there any output printed to the console (black window)?
- copy&paste your commandline (tick the "Show commandline box on the last page of FGRun or the "Others" section on the Mac launcher).

I'd suggest this topic be moved to the Support-subforum.

what do you mean by "cursor disappears"?
are you speaking of your mouse pointer?
does it return if you use the mouse?
if it is what i think it is, then in-sim, hit F10 to enable the menu bar at the top, click on view and then select view options... in there, on the right side, there is an option "Autohide cursor in XX sec." with a check box to the left of it... if you prefer your mouse cursor to stay visible in the simulator view all the time, then uncheck the box... if you prefer it to stay visible a little longer than the default 10 seconds, then increase the number in the box...


[EDIT] FWIW: you might also want to edit your first post and correct the title to be indicative of the actual problem... the cursor disappearing is not FG freezing ;)

"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Ah yes thanks that works. but now when i try to change to the outside view the flightgear application just freezes.

Im using windows 10

i have no idea because its my home computer
yes at any airport when i try to move outside it (the application) freezes
the planes i downloaded are either from github or the aircraft downloader included with flightgear
idk
