In my upgrading to the bigger jets looking for help with a problem

On the A320 FBW - and probably others in the airbus fleet - I have found that if I want to use VNAV etc -  it is called "Managed' - or 'Selected' - for general autopilot

use and to select either of these requires a Push/Pull effort on the mouse - and also - the reset of baro and headings

Unfortunately - my mouse doesn't seem to adopt the characteristics that will carry this out -  ie the up and down pointer - just the hand

My mouse is a tLogitech gaming mouse (G603) with 4 buttons and a center disc and I cannot find anything on the control set ups - in either my mouse or Honeycomb A and B

to replicate this/these actions

Help !

I  see your mouse has 2 side ( thumb buttons ) I have a razer death adder ( why such a scary name I know lol  ) with the same 2 side buttons . I use those to push/pull the A/P buttons on the Fenix 

in the control options

1, mouse

2, miscellanous

3, cockpit interaction-tertiary, in the second box select your front side button to push the AP switch

4, cockpit interaction- secondary, again in the second box select your rear side button to pull the AP switch 

apply and save 

make sure these buttons are not assigned somewhere else 

 

give it a try good luck

Excellent advice! I'll try this too. Should end up being much more convenient than fiddling with the tiny cursor aim zone!

and will let you know

Enable the Legacy cockpit interaction system in General Options / Accessibility. The Lock system can be used by dragging. But that does not work for push and pull. 

i knew there was another setting to make it work but mine is set to lock and it still works 👀

using that  - allowed the u p and down arrows on the mouse  - which signify Managed and selected -

but there is no indication as to the success of this push/ pull - ie how does one know that either one is on!?

Thanks - I thought that might be it - however -  in my  case - the push/pull in my FBW doesnt work😟

looks like if I want an alternative to the 737 it will have to be the 310 - and its still free

spelling

OK ! - I have established the clicking procedure - 'Hold left button over the top or bottom of the switch - show arrow - and click

I can see the switch move in or out which should signify - managed or Selected - ie the dot should come on - or off - but nothing happens

I have tried this on the FBW 320 - and the default Asobo 320 - both of which default start in managed mode - ie dotted line and single dot

and doing the selected of the above - arrow down -  results in -  dots go off  - and numbers up - but clicking the top again - nothing happens

stays with numbers up - and which should have turned them off - for managed state

what else can I do

Or you can switch to "lock mode interaction".

?? - please amplify

oK - i have given up - I will just have to fly the Abus aircraft in the old way - just IFR via autopilot etc

spent some 2 hours with the blokes at FBW on Discord and we couldn't solve the problem

Thanks to you guys who tried

no problems with the Boeings because they don't have this - Managed/selected system - just more buttons

labelled so that old pilots like me can read them
