February 13Feb 13 I noticed that i have to right click to get the left click to work. It brings up the mouse icon and then i left click.

It could be that you're not giving it enough time to load as was said. A tip on this, spacebar lets you "run" or walk faster. You probably know that, but some people reading this may not and it's a neat thing. I did say that using the keyboard works immediately. But I'm not in the habit of using the keyboard as a 'go to'. I didn't know about the spacebar though. 👍 The buttons assigned to WASD don't work until I enter/exit. As for not giving it enough time. Would seven minutes qualify as 'enough time'? Yes I timed it, then gave up. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

I wish I could use my gampad mini-joystick for that but so far, I haven't figured out how to do it. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

My practice w/ Fenix 320 at a ramp is to summon GSX air stair and walk up the stair, open the airplane door, walk in and open the flight deck door, sit down and start the electrics. Since SLC penalizes score if you let PAX walk in w/o closing the FD door I will keep it open long enough to see the flight attendants board, then close the FD door and proceed w/ Self Loading Cargo.

You can have switches too. I use FSUIPC to assign a job to whichever button I choose to do whatever job I want it to do. In this instance it assigning WASD to four positions on a spare hatswitch.
