Using Mouse Wheel to change settings on instruments/AP/ dials etc - Lost Function

I have been using my mouse wheel to change altitudes/headings/frequencies etc for years and just recently I have lost that function - now only left clicking works. I have latest FSUIPC installed in FSX and I seem to remember that is a setting inside it?

 

Can anyone please tell me how to get that mouse wheel functioning so as to scroll again.

 

Thanks.

Not that either. I know I am not the only person out there who has used the mouse wheel to scroll through gauge changes (bug and freq/alt etc) rather than left click? Here's what I have tried to get it back, yet failed:

 

1. Reset FSX.cfg file

2. Got rid of Aero in Win7 mouse settings

3. added/deleted every possible mouse combo inside FSUIPC4 "miscellaneous". Pete Dowson wrote that setting is not part of FSUIPC anyway.

4. Turned on/off mouse yoke inside FSX

5. reloaded a couple of 3rd party aircraft to see if....nope.

6. changed my socks by the light of a full moon - TWICE!

 

Maybe by re-posting someone else will have an idea? It was a really great convenience to scroll and spin dials and radio stacks rather than endlessly click or click and hold.

 

Thanks guys!

Is your tongue in the correct cheek? The only other thing I saw about your problem was that some people bought a new mouse and that fixed their problem. Maybe the variable whosiewhammie is broken in the thumbwheel.

Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!  ✈️
