PMDG 747 VIRTUAL COCKPIT

[Guest breakingcustom]

Hey all, just recently purchased PMDG. One question though. How do I adjust knobs in the VC? Say for the altitude hold knob on the MCP. I click it but it only turns to the left and I don't know how to get it to turn right. I know on the regular panel you can use the mouse wheel but that doesn't seem to work for the VC. Anyone wanna help shed some light for a first time user? Thanks!

Right click to turn right? It's how you do it with the 2D panel, maybe the same applies to the VC.

The mousewheel doesn't work in the VC due to an FS limitation with the way we do our VCs... just use left/right click like on the 2D.

Not only an FS limitation but the scroll wheel also zooms the view if you have active camera, so I never use the scroll wheel in VC.

Lefteris,I assume that your reply is centred at me even though you replied to the OP?Yes your right, I misread the question and the mouse wheel reference and no, you don't work for me ;-)

[lefteris 70]

No, my reply was tongue-in-cheek to the original, unnamed, poster who said that he recently purchased PMDG... I wonder how much he paid for it!:-)

Yes but the title describes his/her question?You need to come down here and get some sun ;-):-) and while your here, you can give our flightsim group a lecture on the 'His/her' ;-) MD-11 eh? LOL

Hehe - I am already "down here" - can't get any sunnier than Athens, GR, particularly as summer is fast approaching... :-)Thanks for the invite tho!
