Views, Controls, Setup

[Badster 0]

Hello All

 

Google has not been my friend and the pdfs have done little but induce confusion, so I'm hoping you might be able to help.

 

I've recently bought FSX:SE and the pmdg 777. This is my first time using FSX and having excitedly installed the new 777 update today I've come to a bit of a road block. I have a keyboard and mouse setup along with an X52pro. When I pan around the cockpit, or switch views the only switch, function that I am able to click on is the control coloumn (namely to lower and raise it). With everything else when I mouse over the switch, for example the battery, the mouse pointer remains as an arrow and I am unable to select the switch.

 

Please help as its obviously something fairly simple that I am messing up and I'm itching to get going in that 777.

 

Many thanks

I don't know what X52pro is.. a B-52 simulator?  Can it be redirecting the pointer position and inputs?

 

Also, just remembered this: Most common problem with not being able to click on a control is viewpoint is inside headrest. Move your viewpoint and see what happens.

X52pro is a Saitek HOTAS Joystick+Throttle setup.

You can use it to fly a B-52, but it itself is not a B-52 simulator.

 

Ditto for the headrest issue.
