mousewheel fwd = inconsistent increase/decrease for knobs in clickable cockpit (some ccw, others cw)


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

Please update the DCS UH-1H clickable cockpit so that interacting with knobs via hovering the mouse pointer over them and rolling the mousewheel, make them turn clockwise when it's rolled forward, and counter-clockwise when the mousewheel is rolled aft--like in the F-16 and F-18.  There are several that are opposites of each other.  It's puzzling to try and remember which does what while trying to fly a mission.   An example is while hovering the pointer over the UHF radio volume a forward mouse wheel roll turns the knob counterclockwise, while the FM radio volume knob actually turns clockwise when doing this.  Also, the VHF radio frequency knobs rotate the opposite direction than the NAV panel's right above it.

I've thoroughly enjoyed UH-1H campaigns such as UN Pilot, Worlds Apart, Argo, and the ForestRat's "Larkin Aviation" (which in my opinion could be monetized, it's that good) And the flying experience in the Huey would be even better if the knobs are all consistent.

UHF and VHF volume knobs, and VHF frequency knob issues reported. 👍

Thanks.

EDIT: added 3 UHF frequency knobs to the report.

In the same way, the rotation of the buttons with the right and left mouse button is not identical everywhere

Right button = clockwise rotation

Left button = counter-clockwise rotation

Except for :

Intercom Mode

Voltmeter DC

Voltmeter AC

(to check the wiper button)...

 

Dans le même ordre d'idée, la rotation des boutons avec le bouton droit et gauche de la souris n'est pas identique partout

Bouton Droit = rotation dans le sens de l'horloge

Bouton Gauche = rotation dans le sens inverse de l'horloge

Sauf pour :

Intercom Mode

Voltmeter DC

Voltmeter AC

(à vérifier le bouton des essuie-glaces)

I'm mapping these volume knobs to sliders in Touch Portal via DCS-COINS and DCS-BIOS - and I noticed that they are inverted (0 = max value and vice versa). Is this somehow related or is it just DCS-BIOS issue? Originally I thought it is, but seeing things working "inverted" here, I rather ask before bothering those guys.

I also noticed that many right/left clicking in 3-state switches is exactly opposite to "ED standard" (e.g. L-39) where right click goes up and left click goes down - but that is probably a completely different story.

Yeah I hate that, they can't just pick a convention and stick to it. Lots of toggle switches in lots of aircraft go in random directions too.
