I think most people just pop the mouse into view mode, pan over to the instrument in the 3D cockpit and maybe zoom in. Then you can pop back into pointer mode and click what you need to click. I forget exactly how the default mouse is set up, but my config lets me hit any button in the cockpit with a click, a mouse movement, and two more clicks. Two more button presses on the mouse and I'm back to the default view. Josh ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
