Gen 3 switch
-
Am I going mad or was the control for gen3 changed at the last update from being "hold and drag" to "roll the mouse wheel back and forward"? I swear I used to drag it which felt normal but it no longer works.
Not a P0 issue by any stretch but just curious.
Really, really hoping for a future update to relocate the GPS away from WXR so that functionality is restored. I know it's not accurate due to 2D only but it's immersion.

@b3lt3r +1 for the GPS relocation option. Not sure how realistic current GPS retrofit is (on the internet usually it's a dedicated FMC like on BAe 146 that I can find instead of modern GPS) but it's location leaves a lot to be desired. It's obscured by speed brake lever and any interaction requires diving down the camera on it. However if we are about to receive UNS-1 or if current location is historically accurate then it's not a problem.

@robsonm It has been discussed previously in context of adding the retrofit UNS or other custom FMC. Real world pictures posted in the forum show it being in the centre of the rear pedestal which seems perfect. Really hoping for this soon....

@b3lt3r Any chance for a link to these photos on forum? I would love to see how it was solved in real thing but could not find one photo online...

@b3lt3r The generator switch logic was changed in v0.1.3 as part of the Xbox compatibility fixes. The generator switches were previously a "hold and drag" type, but this didn't translate very well for users with an Xbox controller, so these switches now require a single mouse click to move in either direction (similar to the logic used on other switches in the cockpit).
With regards to what GPS/FMS options we can bring to the F28, the current plan is to integrate the UNS-1 FMS once it's released for the 146, and then we may look into adding another GPS unit in the future (such as the KLN 90B).

Would be great to fly the Fokker with UNS, really looking forward toward its and BAE 146's UNS updates.
