jgf Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I use the mousewheel to tune the radios. The mousewheel also zooms the view in the VC. When I try to tune the radios in the VC it does both simultaneously. Same with adjusting throttle/prop/mixture. My current solution is irritating - switch to 2D panel, make adjustments, switch back to VC. I don't recall having to do this in the past, what have I forgotten.

caphavoc Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Gi'day, You're not using the F1_view.dll are you? If so, there's the issue. Regards, Dorian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Found it in the modules folder. What do I lose if I remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caphavoc Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Gi'day, The F1_view.dll was a niffty tool ... when it was first released. But it came with the following proviso: "There may be instances where you may not want to use F1_view if it conflicts with another component that you may have installed. Note: When using F1_view, and the center mouse wheel is being used, you may need to hold the cursor away from a gauge that accepts mouse inputs, as the center wheel may fire off a gauge action." Therefore you will lose"... mouse-based zooming, panning, and eyepoint adjustments, including the ability to move your eyepoint beyond the limits imposed by Flight Simulator (this feature is good to stroll about virtual cabins of larger aircraft)." When I moved exclusively to VC panel useage it was, sadly, one of the first items I had to let go. Regards, Dorian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Thanks. Some of these things I installed so long ago I'd forgotten them. I use 2D and VC about equally, depending on the aircraft; was hoping for an elegant solution here, such as mousewheel for radios, cntrl+mousewheel to zoom. Decisions, decisions; lose the easy zoom (in external view also), or continue to bounce between 2D and VC (though I found I can tune some of the radios in FSNav).

Tom Gibson Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 You can't change the mousewheel action in F1View to Ctrl-mousewheel or similar? Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that CNTRL+mousewheel shifts the VC image horizontally on the screen, and SHFT+mousewheel shifts it vertically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting jgf. I tried this in FSX and it does not function the same. Wish it idi. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.

jgf Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 Surprised that module works at all in FSX. (My keyboard is dyslexic also, appears to be no cure.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
