HSI course/heading knobs tooltip value readout missing?

[rudi0310]

Hi,
I'm not shure if this feature got lost in the old C310. So I post it in the support forum.

many aircraft show the degree readout for heading/course as a tooltip when hovering with the mouse over the HSi knobs. This is very helpful, to get the exact value without the need to zoom in ( I do not use Track IR, ChasePlane or similar).

C310 Redux and the last versions of the old C310 do not show this feature. I purchased C310 last year, no glue if this feature was implemented in earlier versions.

Only a minor issue, but would be appreciated for one of the future updates, if possible.

Cheers
Rudi

The <TooltipID>s have always been in the modeldef.xml file for both the CRS and HDG knobs. Why they don't appear in the sim is a mystery. I'll look into this again as time allows.

I took a few minutes and replaced the non-working <TooltipID> with a custom <TooltipText> instead. They are now working for the CRS and HDG knobs.

Thanks for your time and effort, Bill. Might see it fixed in the future.

It will only be another few days. It turns out that MS somewhere along the line "broke" the pre-configured <TooltipID>s so I had to replace them to use the full XML scripts instead.
