Mouse controlled functions: There are three mouse modi. In the usual mode (pointer cursor) panel's controls can be operated with +the mouse. To change a control, click with the left/middle mouse button on the corresponding knob/lever. While the left mouse button +leads to small increments/decrements, the middle one makes greater ones. Clicking on the left hand site of the knob/lever decreases +the value, while clicking on the right hand side increases it. + +

Right clicking the mouse activates the simulator control mode (cross hair cursor). This allows control of aileron/elevator via the +mouse in absence of a joystick (enable --enable-auto-coordination in this case). +

Right clicking the mouse another time activates the view control mode (arrow cursor). This allows changing direction of view via the +mouse. +

Right clicking the mouse once more resets it into the initial state. +
