baldeagle611 Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Just starting out in the F/A-18. For some reason, the scroll wheel has no effect when trying to rotate the knobs (even though the correct icon appears over them). I'm having to use the mouse buttons instead. Any ideas guys?
baldeagle611 Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 None at all? Oh dear. Perhaps it's a binding issue that Eagle haven't mentioned? Perhaps it's me getting it wrong again?
CBStu Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Most knobs are rotated by hover over them until the symbol appears, right click and hold and then move your pointer away. I think of it like it's a yoyo, pull the string and the yoyo rotates.
baldeagle611 Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 Hello! Are we saying that you can't use the mouse wheel to turn knobs like you can in the Blackshark?
baldeagle611 Posted April 25, 2021 Author Posted April 25, 2021 Thanks. Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and raise a ticket then...
Ziptie Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 Yup, mouse wheel scroll works on rotary knobs for me in the Hornet as well.

Well I stand corrected. Feeling kind of dumb. I flew some yesterday after my post above and found my error. Way back maybe 1.5 yrs ago learning the Hornet I saw a youtube tutorial where the guy did the yoyo string thing and I have been using it ever since. Except on the radio channel selector knobs where I scroll the mouse wheel. I have no idea why I hadn't tried scrolling any of the other knobs. Thanks for bringing up this subject because I sure learned something.
baldeagle611 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Posted April 26, 2021 Well I'm glad to have been of help to someone then! Meanwhile my problem is solved: My USB hub had gone bad on me. I tested it by plugging straight through, which worked. Now it's gone completely. Not had it that long either. Very annoying. It was the fact that nobody else had experienced this that made me think hardware. Ok thanks everybody.
