Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

I’m working mostly with mouse wheel to move switches and for the two position switches all is fine but for the three 3-positions switches the mouse wheel only works with roll forward and moving switch levers up. It is not working with mouse roll backward for moving switch lever down.

Would appreciate if that function for completeness and comfort would be added.

I believe the actual method should be left/right click, not mouse wheel. The sim does have a bug where wheel up translates itself internally to a left click, but not to a right click.

I belive that may be the situation, but you would be able to assign a mouse wheel funktion to those three switches, to overcome the shortcomming of standard functions. Right?

Yes it could be done. It just wasn't intended to use the mouse wheel in the first place.

We will look at this but no promises as to when.

Also, at least some of these switches are snap backs... so.. using a mouse wheel would not work well.

I’m missing it on the two light switches and on the tail wheel function switch. They are real three position switches.

The tail wheel is a snap back. I am pretty sure that the manual speaks to that.

For the two lights... again, we MAY revisit this but, as it was never designed to be used by a mouse wheel but rather by clicking...

Hi, thank you for considering. When I activate the tail wheel lock switch it clearly has 3 positions steering-locked-free castoring. I do not see a snapback on this switch.

ok... still... we're not likely going to change this.
