How to get the wipers to work???

Hi there

I love the C-130X and I'm in the process to learn her. I managed a complete start from cold & dark which is the most complex thing I've ever done in FSX. But the darn wipers won't work. I know where the switch for it is, but no matter how I click it it does not change and the wipers do not work.

Any idea???

Thanks for the help. I thought I tried that (left click, right click etc in VC) but maybe I've not held and moved. I'll try it again. But I take your answer as proof that the wipers do actually work?

I find it extremely difficult to operate the wipers as well. I can't get them every time but this is what works for me
While in VC view, zoom in to the co-pilots arm rest where the button is. I use the space bar (hold it down) and use mouse to look over and my mouse scroll wheel to zoom.

With this larger zoomed in view, i can get the wipers on about 60% of the time. The other 40% i either don't have the time or patience.  Shocked

Hope it helps

Ok, I got it now. It indeed involves holding the mousebutton and pullung the mouse. Not easy but it shows the wipers do acutally work.

I can't say the same from the JATO yet. I've not gotten it to fire. It never gets ready. Is there something special to do?
