Cannot move tablet around
-
@Black-Square Thanks, I had a wrong key assigned. My fault.
-
@Black-Square I do use the legacy method. Thanks for pointing this out, I can switch to the lock method. They have their pros and cons, not a huge deal. =D
-
Glad it's working for you guys. I'll still see if there is something I can do to make it work with legacy mode.
For anyone reading this, I've seen the misconception that lock mode inevitably means the blue highlight. While this is the default setting, the blue highlighting and advanced tooltips can both be disabled completely in lock mode.

Unfortunately for me Ipad is unusable- regardless if it's in Lock or legacy mode. Only way I can operate it is by pop-up window...
SU14, DX12
edit: by unusable I mean I cannot click on any of the fields- I can move it freely though
-
SU14 & DX12 - I could only move the tablet after switching to Lock mode.
It would be nice if it works in Legacy mode. -

I got a mode that disable it, don't know if you own the C414, they included it in their installer otherwise I can send you another one I got from flightsim.to (but it has been removed when they changed their Term of use, and the following drama)
send me a private message if you are interested by, will found somewhere to upload you that -
@Nicotine70 Found it now, when you provided the context, thank you.
It's linked here in a thread https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=75844 -
+1 To allowing it to work in Legacy mode; wish you could turn that dumb blue highlight off when you hover over click spots (Would be fine then lol)
-
@themoore117 my comment right above yours mentions a mod to disable the blue highlight in "lock" mode.

For those using LEGACY below follows an example on how to setup a button to switch between two tablet positions using Spad.Next
Custom Tablet Position
Spad.Next button pressed example (you only need to use the LVAR highlighted in the red box
Coordinates to the Tablet default position

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this! I might also add that setting the L:Var_efb_dist can also be used to override my automatic distance limitations that keep the tablet from being too close the camera, or clipping thought the walls. This might be useful if you're looking to set a really custom position, such as in VR.

Interesting approaches to help! SpadNext is a great software, but sorry, not everyone has it or needs it.
This is my problem:
I can open the Duke-tablet with the mouse, but I can't move it with the mouse, neither in "Legany" position nor in "Lock" position, also the top frame doesn't turn blue.
Btw, if I select "Lock" all mouse operations are non-functional.
Yes, I can open the pop-out tablet window with the right ALT key and mouse, then I can also move this window. If I now close the original tablet window, no more data is transferred in the pop-out tablet window. (I don't need two identical tablets)
I don't have this problem with the A2A Comanche tablet.
Win10 - MSFS PC - DX11- MSFS SU14 Premium Deluxe Edition -
I too can move the tablet around freely (in Lock mode only) but am unable to select any of the options/tabs.

I have exactly the same problem and I have tried in SU14 DX11 and SU14 DX12, no change. Lock mode allows me to move the tablet but none of the buttons on the tablet are clickable. I can make the buttons on the tablet "react" by right-clicking on them, but it does not actually click.

I got an email from tech support today that they had solved several interaction problems by discovering that some users had the infamous Horizon 787 installed, which overwrote core simulator files pertaining to interactions. They were also able to solve a few other tablet related problems, so please reach out to them if you continue to have problems.
-
Thank you for the help, I was able to figure out how to move the tablet (in the Accessibility Settings) although I still have no ability to select any options or navigate the different tabs. I'll double check I dont have the previously mentioned 787 files that may be the issue.
FWIW, I did do a repair install and that didnt fix it.
Thank you very much for your amazing dedication to helping us dummies.🙂
