HamSammich Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 Goran, Toto, As Goran knows, this is a compelling option on the LES 340A and would be most welcome on the TBM. There's nothing more annoying than slightly overshooting a click-spot and zooming instead of scrolling. Best, Marshall Quote
bdeniaud Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 Oh yes... SHIFT+Wheel is way better for zoom Quote

HamSammich Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Posted February 15, 2019 I'm less concerned about any replacement key combo for the scrolling as I am in being able to simply disable it. Quote
Goran_M Posted February 15, 2019 Report Posted February 15, 2019 It's implemented by default using X-Planes scroll wheel function. I suppose @skiselkov COULD disable it via code, but I'm not sure it'll happen. Quote
HamSammich Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Posted February 15, 2019 Please ask him to. It's one of the little things that makes the LES SAAB more usable. In fact I'm utterly floored that everyone doesn't offer such an obvious and basic usability option. (Then again, nothing surprises me anymore.) Quote
HamSammich Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Posted February 15, 2019 For illustration of the necessity, look at Helipilot7's videos. The guy knows his way around aircraft, but using the G1000's knobs with XP's zooming enabled makes even a sure-handed pilot look clumsy. Quote
Goran_M Posted February 15, 2019 Report Posted February 15, 2019 You could always use left mouse clicks instead of scroll wheel. Quote
HamSammich Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Posted February 15, 2019 Sigh. And it's your other plane (another stone-cold masterpiece) that has the nice feature, so you of all people should see the need. I could also disable XPRealistic, so my camera doesn't move slightly. I could buy a bigger monitor and a higher-res mouse. I could learn Swedish and curse in two languages when I miss the click-spot, as far as that goes. It's an annoyance. Maybe not a big one, but an annoyance all the same, in what is the most obsessively-designed (And rendered) model I've ever flown. You're already nitpicking the AA on the synthetic vision, and coding your own navaid reception, and doing a million other obsessive things. As an obsessive, I'm asking other obsessives for just one more obsessive feature. (Biting my nails obsessively) Marshall (Or Sven, in Swedish) Quote
