Title: Erratic mouse operation in parking editor
Post by: w6kd on November 29, 2020, 09:43:43 pm

Umberto--for a while now, when using GSX to edit parking spots, the program misses the majority of the mouse inputs.

If I use the mouse scroll wheel to try and rotate an object, I have to spin the scroll wheel incessantly...it is missing most of the mouse events, apparently unless it just happens to be timed just right.

Same thing for mouse clicks when attempting to place objects in edit mode...I have to click repeatedly...eventually a click will work to place a selected object, but often after 10-20 attempts have failed.

Mouse operation is normal outside the edit mode, and keyboard slewing/rotation of the objects in edit mode works normally.

Regards

Bob Scott

Click-to-place has always been finicky but it's definitely harder to use now than ever. One trick I've found is to rapidly press the arrow keys that move the selected vehicle/object while also clicking where you want to place it. For some reason, this seems to work better.

Try to disable the advanced mouse controls in the P3D settings.

Thanks...but it's already off.

How's your frame rate ? Do you use limited or unlocked ?

Not OP, but I see the same issue and my FPS is locked in NCP at 36.

I'm sorry, but I cannot reproduce the problem. Tried both with frame rate unlimited, or locked at 30 ( with the sim ), don't have the NCP so I haven't tried that one.

For sure, you must disable "Advanced mouse controls", otherwise the mouse wheel will be used to zoom the view, so you can use it to rotate objects, but I can't see any issues with just clicking.

And, I find easier and faster to use the mouse to move objects, and the F7/F8 keys to rotate them, especially considering that rotation is snapped to regular intervals aligned when the parking heading, while the mouse wheel always rotate freely, so it's more difficult to align to the parking precisely.

Unlocked in the sim, limited by VSync to 30Hz hardware refresh rate.

Tried that too, no difference, it catches all my clicks just fine.
