Basics of operation
Panel operation
Microsoft Flight Simulator traditionally depends heavily upon mouse
actions to operate buttons, switches and knobs. Sometimes, click
spots may not be 100% intuitive, or the result of your action may
depend upon clicking with the left or right mouse button at the correct
location. When familiarizing yourself with the panel, it is suggested
that you turn on „tool tips”. These tips will then appear when you
hold your cursor over the various click spots, and the tips will describe
what each click spot is for. Tool tips can be activated under the FS
menu under Options / Settings / General.
The Piper Cheyenne uses a consistent, standardized approach to
operate the different controls in the aircraft panels. Following is an
overview about these methods to interact with the controls in the 2D
and 3D panels:
Push buttons: Left or right-click to operate these buttons on/off.
Guarded buttons: Guarded buttons require two steps: First, right-click
to open or close the guard covering the control. Second, left-click to
operate the button underneath. The cursor will show a solid hand.
