Brief description of the issue:

I can’t click and hold with the mouse the globe on the opening screen when I want to find an airport somewhere in the world by using the globe. I can zoom in and zoom out but it’s very difficult to find a particular place that way.

The screenshot would just show the globe screen - with the globe frozen in place.

Open Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and click into the globe screen. Then try to turn the globe by clicking on it.

This started happening many, many builds ago. Probably 8-12 months ago was the first time I noticed it.

Check out this post, hope it can help:

Unable to pan world map (using a mouse) since SU7

Since I still had this (original) issue today and finally solved it, I thought I’d just share my now seemingly obvious two cents: There is a keybind: options->control options->menu->“grab worldmap” which I had to bind to my mouse button. Now it works as normal, no resetting of binds needed. Found it by typing “world” in the search while having “all” selected in the filter.

Moved to User Support Hub User Interface & Activities to get community support and try to replicate.

Wow! Thank you so much! I’ll give that a try.

Thing I don’t understand though is it always worked up until a certain update and then it suddenly stopped. I didn’t change any bindings at that time (because I didn’t even know you could until now)!

Anyway, I really appreciate your fast reply.

[ForJonathan]

Yep, that worked! For some reason I had a customized mouse setting that didn’t have the “grab” thing on it. I switched it to Default and then the Grab thing appeared. So it all works now. THANKS AGAIN!

Great to hear !, happy flights

Weird thing though, now that I think about it, is why is this even an option!? Wouldn’t the ability to grab and move the globe just be a default thing that couldn’t be changed? So strange that this can even be changed.

Just thinking… (too much no doubt)!
