button 0 = Left button button 1 = Middle button button 2 = Right button? (can't use this, FGFS internal) button 3 = Mouse wheel forward button 4 = Mouse wheel back Josh raises some valid points here. I've been playing with the pick animation over the past few days. I set the action for buttons 0 and 4 to adjust altimeter settings up and buttons 1 and 3 to adjust down. Both change in 0.01 steps, buttons 0 and 1 have a 0.1 second repeat rate buttons 3 and 4 can not be held down so repeat isn't possible. The rapid repeat rate means you can use buttons 0 and 1 for coarse adjust and buttons 3 and 4 for fine adjustments. It works well for me and is more intuitive than clicking left or right of the knob. I like the idea of using the left button to increase a switch/knob and the middle button to decrease said knob. I also like pairing the mouse wheel to spin knobs and dials. Can we count on most people today having a wheel or at least three button mice? Ron ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
