MOUSE CONTROL
Manipulation of ELITE controls are simple but may require
practice. The mouse cursor is a hand.
Press buttons, or turn knobs by placing the virtual “fi ngertip”
on the button, knob or switch on the instrument panel and
pressing the left mouse button and moving the mouse left
or right (called click and drag). Operation is the same for
stacked knobs or bezel rings. The fi ngertip is used as you
would use your fi nger in the cockpit.
To move an actuator such as fl aps or gear handle, move
the fi ngertip over it, press and hold the mouse button (as
if seizing the actuator in the cockpit), drag it to the desired
position and then release the mouse button.
Always hold the mouse perpendicular to the computer
display. This is best accomplished by sitting in front of the
screen and holding the mouse at about the position where
the power controls are mounted, relative to the cockpit
seat. If you hold the mouse at the wrong angle, the hand
does not move in a natural way.
PUSHING BUTTONS:
Push Buttons control many cockpit functions, and in ELITE,
they appear three dimensional.
A Push Button is activated by moving the fi ngertip over
it and pressing the mouse button. Any button that is in its
down or on position appears “pushed-in,” a button in its up
or off position appears “popped-out.” Some push buttons
are toggle buttons . They remain down or on once they
have been pushed. To release a toggle but ton just push
it again. Some buttons also light up when pushed in and
