Im trying to change the mouse cursor so when you click on a dial, mode, switch etc you dont have to press and hold the mouse then drag the mouse of use the scroll switch. It was straightforward on msfs 2020 but I can’t find how you can change it. I just want to click on a switch once not having to click and drag. Ive looked everywhere in settings but can’t find anything its probably staring me in the face
That sounds like the cockpit interaction setting. In MSFS 2024 try Options > General Options > Accessibility, then set Cockpit Interaction System to Legacy. That should put it much closer to the old 2020 style where you can click switches normally and use the wheel for knobs, instead of the lock/drag style.
Some aircraft still have their own knob behavior, but for the general cockpit controls that setting is usually the one people are looking for.
