Some knobs have inverted scrolling

[gilbertohasnofb]

Some knobs have inverted scrolling when using the mouse wheel. That is, scrolling up should raise their values and NOT diminish them. The problematic knobs are:

• [x] Heading indicator's heading bug
• [x] Heading indicator's heading offset
• [x] Altimeter Hg setting
• [x] Instrument light
• [x] Microphone setting (COM1 COM2 EXT)
• [x] Nav1/Nav2/Com1/Com2/ADF volume knobs
• [x] ADF frequency knob
• [x] Transponder four numbers
• [x] DME setting (N1 HLD N2)

Transponder setting (N1 HLD N2)

Do you mean DME setting?

[gilbertohasnofb]

Yep, that's what I meant.

Fixed the DME knob in PR #394 (it used to be non-scrollable)

@gilbertohasnofb Fixing the scrolling means though that left clicking becomes "decrease" and middle clicking "increase". But I think scrolling knobs is more important.

[gilbertohasnofb]

I think scrolling knobs is more important.

Absolutely!

@gilbertohasnofb I found a much better solution, setting /sim/mouse/invert-mouse-wheel to true.

I just need to fix:

• [x] the dials of the KX-165 and DME instrument
• [x] throttle and mixture
• [x] rotation animation of HDG dial of ADF
• [x] make ADF frequency dials rotate
• [x] make sure attitude horizon, altimeter, nav1 radial and nav2 radial dials rotate

[gilbertohasnofb]

I found a much better solution

Great! Once this work is done I will test the PR, okay? Thanks a lot for the work, @onox!

[onox]

@gilbertohasnofb Sure, shouldn't take too long.

@gilbertohasnofb Can you find out what the outer and inner dial of the ADF instrument should do? They both currently change the standby KHz frequency.

[gilbertohasnofb]

I will have a look on that now.

[gilbertohasnofb]

Hmm, it seems that the KR 87 should have the possibility of having decimal numbers for the ADF, and then the outer knob would increment 0.1 kHz. See how the panel should have 5 seven-segment displays for each frequency but ours has only three:

UPDATE: this image above is incorrect, Bendix manual says the range is 200KHz to 1799KHz in 1 KHz increments and so our KR87 is correct. But then I don't know how the dials work. Maybe the outer one increments 1 KHz while the inner increments 10 or 100 KHz (as else to go from 200 to 1000 KHz would take 800 clicks!!).

[onox]

I'll make the outer 100 KHz, that's what the <shift-action> uses.

[gilbertohasnofb]

Sounds good.

[onox]

@gilbertohasnofb Can you test branch bug-391? See https://github.com/Juanvvc/c172p-detailed/issues/391#issuecomment-120494711

[onox]

I need to make some of the dials rotatable and then I'll create a PR.

[gilbertohasnofb]

Checked, all seem to be working perfectly.

[onox]

@gilbertohasnofb Fixed knobs of attitude indicator, altimeter, and nav 1 and nav 2 radials.

[gilbertohasnofb]

Thanks, all works super well!

[onox]

Cool! :smile:
