Python1 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'm trying to do the manual start procedure, and I can't turn any knobs. The manual says I can by "Left mouse click to toggle a switch Left or right mouse click to rotate a rotary dial Rotate the mouse wheel to spin a knob Left click and drag to spin a knob" none of this works, clicking does nothing, and when I rotate my mouse wheel it zooms the view in and out. I am trying to rotate a know that the tutorial tells me too, in the video he rotates it. and while I'm at it, how do I close the cockpit door? Any help?

deadsmell Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Python, just place the mouse cursor over the knob you want to turn, then while the cursor is placed over the knob, use the mouse WHEEL to turn the knob. Edit: ok i just saw that you said that scrolling the wheel causes you to zoom, so, are you using track ir? or are you using the mouse to look around? You may have to press left cntrl + c to go back to the regular cockpit mouse function. At least I think it is left cntrl+c.

Boulund Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Actually, I think it is Left Alt + C that changes between the zooming/mouselook and buttonpressing/buttonscrolling modes. So Python1 - Try pressing LAlt + C until you get that small yellow cursor/cross. Then you will be able to scroll knobs by scrolling your mousewheel I bet you just experienced the (in)famous mouselook bug; When you enter into the helicopter after loading a mission you can both look around and press buttons at the same time (originally not intended to be done simultaneously) Pressing LAlt+C changes between looking and clicking modes. To reproduce the bug I think it is possible to press esc two times in a row (i.e. going to the pause menu and back to the game again).
