black shark cockpit pan viewing using the mouse:

[87thbatman]

I've been trying to get the mini mouse on my CH throttle to simulate pan to view instead of using the POV (ie: is it possible to use the mouse instead of the POV to pan view around the cockpit?)..

 

Also any one know how to use one of the buttons (on the throttle) to simulate the left mouse click (ie: the cockpit sellect key)..

 

:helpsmilie: any ideas (or even better solutions)?

 

thanks

Press and hold center mouse button then move the mouse around to pan.

Rock! Nice tip Vik.

 

I notice a lot of controls tell me to use the mousewheel to manipulate the cockpit switch/knob but mouse wheel controls FOV (zoom) on my sim by default that really prevents me from using mousewheel for button manipulation. Is there a way to change this?

Dohhh.. didn't work

 

its not as simlpe as 'it didn't work full stop'

 

I am using a track and ball mouse, so I had to set a key for middle mouse click - which I did.

 

but it doesnt seem to have taken in black shark..

 

any ideas on remapping that toggle to a different key or combination of keys..

i have a button mapped to clickable mouse cockpit mode on/off and switch between the modes whenever needed.

Glad to help :).

 

If the mouse is set to control your view, you can turn knobs by left-clicking and holding, then move the mouse up and down.

I`m not sure unfortunately.

 

Heres an easy solution though ;)

I noticed that I can click-drag the knobs but a lot of them, like the QFE setting on the baro altimiter require multiple drags off the screen which is annoying. I notice that my mousewheel is actually doing both FOV and adjustment (which means a lot of times when adjusting FOV I adjust a knob by mistake). I would like to be able to mousewheel these controls or, even better, pull "rate" with click and drag.

 

What I mean is when you click and drag, the speed of the adjustment is determined by how far away you drag, not the angular displacement.

 

One last question. Is it possible to set various instrument panel brightnesses? Right now the only settings I see are on and off. I try during the knobs at the rear right to adjust the brightness but they only seem to have full on or all the way off, no dimmer.

LALT+C gives you mouse view paning but you have to hit it again to be able to click buttons. Maybee map a key to this and try that?

cracked it..

 

It was 'clickable mouse cockpit mode on/off' :pilotfly:

 

many thanks for the help every one
