Jester Wheel Back Button: Tweak Request

Hi HB,

I'm really loving the head tracking control of the Jester menu. Unfortunately, the back button is so small in the wheel, it's difficult to get my head to stay on it long enough to click it with the Jester context on my throttle. Then I have to either flip to my mouse or keyboard, halting the flow and slowing things up. What about tweaking it so the whole centre is the back button, something like this?:

Hopefully you'll consider it, as it would improve usability massively imo.

Many thanks,

Tim

Are you sure you actually have to hit the lower part? Afaik the full center area is clickable already.

That said, there is also an extra back bind. And if you hold the Jester UI Action bind (A) long, it will close the wheel (no need to navigate back all the way).

Worth noting that you can adjust the sensitivity in the special settings (max angle).

Well whadda ya know. You can click anywhere in the centre! I guess the little notch the BACK text sits in made me think that was the hit box.

Oh, I'll have to try that out. It does tend to fly around quite a lot.

Cheers!

Hehe, glad to have helped out.

I get what you mean and I had the same concern when designing it. Couldnt come up with a better UI that still has the center area free for "Jester Wheel INFO" and "Jester Wheel User Input" (two features which are used occasionally in the wheel that take the center area).
