CAN'T USE THE WORLD ON STARTUP

Featured Replies

When I start MSFS, I cannot get the world to move, and I can't zoom in on it in the start menu. I used to be able to use this feature to rotate the world and zoom in on a particular country and select an airport to startup at. Does not work anymore. Any suggesstions?

Thanks

I found the answer. Mouse must be in DEFAULT mode. In the sim, go to OPTIONS/CONTROL OPTIONS/MOUSE and make sure DEFAULT is selected. 

Interesting. My MOUSE is set to a specific profile, not to DEFAULT, and I can zoom in and out and go wherever I want in the World Map. 

Cheers, Ed

Some how it had moved to PROGRAM. I don't know how I did that, but I put it back to DEFAULT and everything works.

The mouse grabs the map even in customized configurations, not only in default. Be sure that in Options>Control Options>Mouse>Menu the "'GRAB WORLDMAP" is assigned to the left button.

"CAN'T USE THE WORLD ON STARTUP".

This is normal for me when I get up in the morning!  :unsure:

On a more serious note, this first happened for some people (including me) about a year ago after an update.
Asobo seemed to include a default mouse setting in an update which over-wrote some users mouse profiles, and it was without the left mouse assignment that Dominique mentions above.

For users affected, once we knew the solution that Dominique mentions, it was a quick and easy fix.  But of course it shouldn't happen in the first place.

I am sure if you go back to your non-default mouse profile and add this setting, it will be fine.

Thanks for the replies. As you can see from my second post above, I also found the DEFAULT problem. Problem solved.
