Multi-Function Knob Differences in the Virtual Cockpit:
All of the mouse cursor functions described above work in the Virtual
Cockpit environment as well. It should be noted however that the three
dimensional nature of the Virtual Cockpit allows for the assignment of
primary and secondary rotary functionality to the appropriate part of the
knob. As you move the mouse cursor over a knob or switch, simply
watch to see which cursor (primary or secondary rotary cursor, push,
pull or push-pull cursor) is displayed. This will help you to identify which
function you will effect by mouse input.
NOTE:
This layout is replicated on similar push-pull switches and
knobs throughout the cockpit. Keep in mind what each cursor type
means, and you should find it very easy and intuitive to interact with
any knob or switch in the cockpit.
NOTE:
Depending upon your monitor size and resolution, you may
have some trouble accurately placing the mouse cursor over a
switch while in the VC. If you experience this problem, we
recommend that you zoom in, or disable head latency within the
simulator. This will prevent the background from constantly moving
behind the mouse cursor, making it hard to manipulate the switch.
