A320 Click spots

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,,owing the just flight A320,,,like it,,specially in B.A colours,,,i have 1 small problem.

Using the autopilot no problems,,the problem i have lies with me,,,i struggle to change...ALT,,,SPEED,,or HEADING whilst flying cos i find the + an - click spot areas hard to stay in.

i.e i`ll have speed hold on but wish to adjust my speed so i change using the + mark on the speed dial but a slight movement with the mouse and ive disconected speed hold.
I do keep zoomin right in to a dial to make sure im hitting it right.
i know i need to go specsavers soon enough but till then is there anyway i can adjust a value to make the + or - area larger.
or am i thinking of something that cant be done.

Andrew

	I too have had this problem, now check everything twice. Particular problem is changes taking place on reloading with loss of flight plan and switch settings.

	At last may have found the answer to the missing Flt Pln in reloaded flights. I was at Duxford and signed up to PC Pilot. They gave me a choice of freebies and I got the FCS Airbus Collection. The FMC manual states it is necessary to 'click twice on THE Flight Simulator X Files or the Flight Simulator Files folder for the FMC to be able to load the flt pln again in the FMC'. I will try this in the Flite A320. Had abandoned the game completely, because of this. A mention in the manual would have saved me having to go down the garden and have a scream up. As I have said, we need a demonstration video for the tutorial flt designed for Dummies like me. When I have mastered the A320, I may try myself or perhaps a master like Soya could do one. johnep

	sorry johnep,,,,the goflight mcp i was reffering to is from http://www.goflightinc.com/ its a piece of hardware that looks like the autopilot on a 737,,,nice piece of kit just a pity it aint well supported with a lot of fsx developers,,,works great with the default planes so the just flight a320 is ok,,and its good with the wilco 737 and the lds 767 Andrew
