Mouse wheel bug with new mouse controls

[solleo1995]

When using new mouse controls in cockpit and selecting any turnable knob with left moue button, if you will then try to adjust selected knob with mouse wheel - everything will be ok, but if before this you will move you mouse left/right a little while holding left mouse button and then try to adjust knob with mouse wheel - it will result in adjusting knob and zoom in / zoom out at the same time.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure that you are using new mouse controls in cockpit.
2. Select and hold left mouse button at any turnable knob (HDG, ALT for example).
3. While holding left mouse button - move mouse itself around a little bit. This must result in adjusting knob by mouse moves.
4. While still holding left mouse button - try to adjust knob with mouse wheel. This will result in adjusting knob by mouse wheel and zoom in / zoom out at the same time.

Can anyone confirm this issue?

The new LOCK interaction is designed for controller use. For Mouse only use the LEGACY cockpit interaction mode.

That I way I don’t need to click or hold anything, I can just hover my mouse over the knob and use the mouse wheel to turn it up or down.

Sorry, mate, but first of all - it does not make sense, because it’s still a bug. And no, it’s not designed only for controllers. Second - using LOCK interaction is very nice and useful in many situation. For example in legacy mode you cannot normally turn knobs with mouse in turbulence, because many times you will miss the knob, which will result in zoom in / zoom out.

Holding the left mouse button down while trying to use the scroll wheel is stupid awkward. It should have been the right mouse button.

that’s why I have my inputs for those ‘commands’ either on the yoke or keyboard

That’s why I set my zoom mode to Focus instead of scroll wheel, if I miss the knob it doesn’t do anything. If I want to zoom, I just right click on a spot that I want to zoom in.

Hm. How do i do that? Is there some setting for this? Want to check it mysefl.

In your General Options under Camera, you should see Zoom Function that you can switch between Manual or Focus.

Manual = using scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
Focus = using right click to zoom in and out.

I choose focus to avoid accidental zoom due to my cursor missing the knob.

All you need to do is go to menu change to legacy view for cockpit interaction and it will be back to how it was before update.

Yeah. This works, but not my prefered type of contorls.

Why? I like how new cockpit interaction works. But there is a bug and they probably need to fix it.

[NeoKingRthur]

It’s very subjective, some like it some don’t. I would like it if I can disable the blue glow… That’s my biggest immersion breaker.

[solleo1995]

I think they will add this option in future. Or maybe someone will disable it with some mod.
And yeah, ofc it’s subjective. But if we have both options - they must be implemented nicely.

Not a bug psb

Fixes & work arounds for SU5 in game UI, tool tips, missing mouse/cursor issues

Can I suggest this is given ‘pinned’/‘sticky’ status for a little while. Hi all, Please keep posts in this thread strictly to work arounds/fixes for any issues with the in game UI for PC - there are more than enough posts for people to raise any concerns. This is focusing on work arounds for issues linked to the in game GUI, particully the tool tips. I hope this helps and please, if like me you are frothing at the mouth with rage about the UI - note that it can be ‘fixed’ (mostly) and returne…

Hi, I hope I’m not intruding into this thread, but it’s the closest I found to my problem.

I done the update yesterday, Saturday, but now the cockpit knobs switches etc, don’t work. When I put the mouse say on the Taxi Lights switch or any knob, it just glows blue and a widow pops out with the name of the knob or switch and under it says “Press ? to Interact” but nothing happens. Please see pic below as an example.

Tried moving the mouse left, right, up down etc. nothing works! tried both the B787 and the A320’ Any help please would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

[VolatAltus]

Sorry Guys, but after writing the post I went to Options and changed My Mouse Profile to Default, just to try if it was the problem and it was. So it’s all OK and back to normal now. Thanks to all that was going to help, but this may serve as a helpful post to others that may stumble to this same problem. Thanks anyway.

[NeoKingRthur]

You might also need to go to your General Options → Accessibility → Cockpit Interactions. And change this to Legacy.

[VolatAltus]

Thanks for the info Neo4316. I’ll give that a try tomorrow. Would that make any other differences besides being able to turn knobs and operate switches? That glowing blue and windows opening every time you move the mouse on knobs, switches etc is really bothering me too!

[NeoKingRthur]

Legacy cockpit interaction will remove the blue glow. Legacy setting is optimised for mouse users and will bring the interaction back to before the SU5.

[VolatAltus]

I did change it to Legacy and the Blue glow is gone. While I was there, I also switched off the Instrument Name Tooltips, as they were annoying me! Also, I went back to the Control Options and changed the Mouse back to My Profile, as it was initially. This tells me that all I had to do is to change back to Legacy in the first place but I didn’t know how to get there! So thanks to you Neo, it seems that I’m now back to Normal! I hope this could be of some help to others too. Thanks once again.

No problem. I’ve been saying the same thing to different posts everyday now. Glad it works for you.
