OBS / Course heading bugs only change in 10 degree increment

Post by mryan75 »

Hi fellas,

Doing instrument approaches in the Cherokee, and all of the sudden (within the past 2-3 days), you can only change the OBS bug in 10 degree increments. When you click-hold the knob and turn it left or right, it goes 241, 231, 221, 211, etc. I did change my mouse pointer speed a bit ago and thought that may have been it (I made it faster, thought maybe that would make the heading bug less sensitive), so I changed it back. Still no resolution.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Sounds like this could be the old FSX 'control acceleration' bug at work, although I can't recall now which host sim you use. Is it FSX or P3D, and do you have a registered version of FSUIPC installed?

Thanks,
Nick

Hey Nick,

Thanks for getting back to me! I have P3D and an unregistered version of FSUIPC.

Thanks Mike.

What happens if you use the mouse scroll wheel to adjust the knobs in question?

Tried it, and it doesn't work for a few reasons: I'm in VC, which makes it problematic to start with, but also I have wheel scroll set for minor adjustments to trim with Real Trim Professional.

Hello,

you will want to re-map the mousewheel back to default really, as its a default sim command for small adjustments to clickspots. If you re-map it to something else you will lose this ability within the whole cockpit.

Mike,

Yes, if you use your mousewheel for trim, you'll find it difficult to adjust some of the radio tuning knobs in the cockpit. As regards the click 'n' drag issue, have you tried resetting your mouse pointer speed back to default, or at least reducing it a bit?

Thanks,
Nick
