Title: Altimeter, Radios and altitude knobs
Post by asanal on Jul 12th, 2009 at 8:23pm
I am experiencing a difficulty  to control altimeter, radios and altitude  knobs. Every times when I turn one of the knob, it either runaway 360 or goes  up/down but not the number I try to put in. I can not manage  to put correct  altimeter settings.

I have no any problem with my PC mouse. :-? It works well with :LDS767X. PMDG747X and MD11X.
How can I correct the knobs turning?
Thanks
Sanal

I did not get any response from CS, but I found  away to  put proper numbers into radios and altitude panel. Still struggling with altimeter settings. :-/

You have to keep the mouse pointer on the knob while you are turning it.  If you hold the left mouse key down and then move it off the knob and release the left mouse key the knob will continue to turn in the direction that you initially started to turn it.  Just keep the cursor on the knob until you come up with the setting you want.  Then all should work fine.

Best Regards,
Robert :)

Sanal. aal763 is right. I too have had problems guessing myself to setting the altimeter correctly. Use the mouse, if you have difficulty zoom into the panel. There is also a good explanation in the FAQ section:

Q: How can I set the altimeter without being able to read the setting?

A: If you put your mouse cursor on the altimeter gauge, a little ToolTip message will come up showing you your current setting in millibars and inches, start then scrolling with your mouse wheel or left button and you will be able to set it to standard alt-setting by keeping on reading the readout from the little pop-up window.
Also check out the FSUIPC settings. Assign a hot key setting for required numbers through this program. Now you don't have to see the settings to know they are correct. Use "B" to give you the current alt setting and "Ctrl+B" to get required numbers.



Good flyings!
