It seems that I cannot do several things in the cockpit by point-click; the mouse wheel seems to be the only way, and that is VERY annoying.

For instance: airspeed bugs.selectors etc do not seem to be dragged; rolling them takes forever, even when adjusting the mouse wheel speeds in the WINDOWS Control Panel. Same with NAVCOMM frequencies and other stuff. Other things DO work using point and click.

Am I doing something wrong, or what?

Overall, a nice piece of work.

Mike, I have found same concern. When I try to switch from Gen 1 to Battery, I have to drag the cursor across the screen to get it to move. Also when I tried to follow the tutorial flight I could not set the crossfeed indicators as illustrated on page 42 of the Pilot's Notes. Because of this I could not get an engine to start. Like you I'm still impressed with the plane, and confident these bugs will be sorted out. Bob

I agree too, the mouse control is very slow and fiddly, clicks would be better. Also a pop up for the auto pilot would help. The exterior graphics are a bit disappointing, not up to the standard of the 146 and others. For some reason it plays havoc with my frame rates which doesn't happen with some of my more complex planes.
To sum up, it's not a bad product considering the price but I would rather pay a bit more for better quality. 7/10

For all who have made comments regarding mouse control, I just submitted a ticket that is a collection of all our comments so far, and they have assigned a ticket number. Hopefully we will get some answers or updates soon.
