Mouse use
Mouse use
I have downloaded and installed the A2A Cessna 182 in both my P3Dv3.4 and P3Dv5. In the v5 I can rotate about the VC using my right mouse button however in v3.4 the use of this button only brings up a selection of views. Is this an anomoly in v3.4 or am I doing something wrong. Otherwise a lovely aircraft.

Re: Mouse use
Hello and welcome.
Enhanced mouse control of views (for example, using right click and drag to change view direction) is one of the features added with P3Dv5 so it's nothing you're doing wrong, just a difference between the base simulators.
In v5, this setting can actually be disabled via an option in "other controls".
Thanks,
Nick

Re: Mouse use
Silly me, I looked at an old post and found that by using the space bar and left mouse button can rotate the VC views in P3Dv3. Many thanks for your reply and once again a super airplane.

Re: Mouse use
I only use P3Dv4.5 for the beloved A2A V35B. Can you confirm if I upgrade to v5 or 5.1, I can then use right mouse to move around in 3D VC just like in x-Plane 11?Nick - A2A wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 05:56 Hello and welcome.

I've heard many complaints with v5.0-5.1; is it possible to conduct a rollback to 4.5 if things go south?
Many thanks.

Re: Mouse use
You're welcome Kev and thanks for the kind words.
If you have the disk space Les, then you can actually install both v4 and v5 of P3D concurrently and switching from one to the other is no problem. That's why I do to help better support customers on each version. But yes, P3Dv5 does include some enhanced mouse support for view controls. Not quite the level that's available through add-ons such as EZdok and Chaseplane, but an improvement on P3Dv4 nonetheless.Les Parson wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 13:50 Can you confirm if I upgrade to v5 or 5.1, I can then use right mouse to move around in 3D VC just like in x-Plane 11?

If you're unsure about the upgrade to v5, Lockheed Martin have a 14 day money-back guarantee. And any A2A add-ons you've purchased for v4 can be used in v5 too. You'll just need to download the updated installers.
