Title: Turnbuttons and cockpit ergonomy Post by Barb. on Aug 24th, 2010 at 9:00am
Hi
So after spending half a dozen hours (yes, already :D ) in the wonderful 707 vvirtual flightdeck, I have just a little tiny suggestion to make, regarding turnbuttons (heading bug, NAV radio frequency...) Currently, in order to turn the buttons to change NAV frequency for instance, you need to 'click-and-drag' the buttons, which makes for rather unprecise dialing and takes more time than it should. While I think this is a good way to represent how the pilot would grab and then turn those buttons, it damages the cockpit's overall ergonomy and doesn't really help in some situations where the workload becomes quite heavy. Could the system maybe be changed to a simple righ/left click system (hidden click zones) for +/- dialing, where one click would change one notch at a time ? Maybe what I'm asking for is just not feasable at this time, or other users will disagree with me. Please regard this little suggestion as positive criticism. I understand you probably have other stuff to worry about right now and I am very happy about how the cockpit works, but this would just be an extra nice touch. Cheers Nico |
