Solved Mouswheel zoom mucks up dial work on ramp start
-
Hi all,
I use a warthog stick and throttle. I was using the grey slider to the right of the throttle - the little grey one - but it’s developed some noise over the years of use and if it’s in any position at all even when not moving the zoom jitters on screen so basically it’s useless.
I’ve heard the slider is very bad in this way on the warthog and is basically to be avoided as this will eventually happen on this particular throttle.
Here are some file screenshots
Here’s the slider I’m using for zoom/fov which I had set up in alternative launcher views section axis assignment “FOV”
This is an image of the FOV axis assignment in alternative launcher “views”
When I cancel the FOV axis assignment, I’m then using trackir z axis for my head “zoom” and a command I set up on my mouse to which I think is normally “L” on the keyboard or something to zoom fully in and out.
OK! My question then is given that the mouse wheel zooms when FOV is not assigned to an axis, how do I turn off the mouse wheel zoom function altogether?
for example - the hud brightness wheel to the left of the ICP or the comm 1 and comm 2 volume, threat volume, ILS volume etc. and other dials all rely on the mouse wheel and yet it zooms if your cursor is off the dial and you happen to miss it looking at it with track ir
How do I prevent the game from doing this with the mousewheel, this only seems to occur when FOV zoom is not assigned to any axis.
I’ve seen some posts on this forum and on reddit that talk about the user config file that say you can change some of this zoom options, is that a good place to start?
Is there a way of cancelling the mouse wheel scroll as it causes the view to zoom when turning dials and that throws off my ramp start and some dials work in flight and can be a little frustrating. I imagine there may be others who’ve encountered this?
Many thanks and I hope I’ve been clear and provided enough for someone who reads this to go on.
Cheers,
Snipe

@Snipe not something well-documented or tested, but you can try
set g_sScrollUpFunction "SimDoNothing" set g_sScrollDownFunction "SimDoNothing" set g_sMiddleButtonFunction "SimDoNothing"
(add the lines to ‘falcon bms user.cfg’ file)
