Tool Tips

[navops 1]

I have had the DC-6 for a few days. I followed all the instructions in the manual to setup FSX correctly.

The problem is I don't get hardly any tool tips. For example I can hoover over the trim wheel and nothing shows. Next time it might show the trim position.

When I hover over switches and knobs I get nothing to tell me what they are or position.

Thanks

Welcome to the PMDG forums, please note their rules require our full names on all our posts.

Are you using a custom cursor or any 3d party program that might change the cursor?  It's been a few days and I cannot recall if the trim tool tip provides a value. I'm not sure it does because it's certainly not necessary. As for other knobs and switches I cannot guess.

I only get tool tip and readings on two items the propeller control and OBS knob .....

I just checked the trim tool tip while looking at a different item and noted the tool tip for trip appears when you hover the mouse pointer over the trim wheel, not the trim gauge, and it does provide a trim value.

I was hoping and probably dreaming that, when I hover the pointer over the BMEP gauge for example, it would give me the reading or the fuel tanks etc...... :)

I don't have any third party software running when I run the DC-6. I don't see any tool tips except the two I described and I only see them sometimes.

I'm running in Windows 10, P3d v4 and am experiencing the same problem.  I do not have any 3rd party cursors.

I can confirm that I have the same problem with missing tooltips. Using the DC6 on P3DV4 on Windows 7

Has anyone got tool tips to work at all?

Tool tips work in every other aircraft except this one.
