Kodiak 2.6 question

Hi, I searched for this in the forum, but could not find it...

I love/hate my new Kodiak :mixedsmi:

The plane is great and I'm sure that I'll be flying it often, but my mouse wheel is not (well) supported in the G1000, so I'm having lots of trouble adjusting frequencies, altitude etc. The stuff I do all the time when flying.

I'm about ready to take the XML code apart and change every mouse click spot so that the mouse wheel will turn each knob forward and backward, but before I do that - has anybody got a simpler solution for me?

Not sure if this has been covered many times over.... but I just got the plane and am trying to get comfortable with it... is there possibly an update I need to apply?

Hello Bert,

My apologies in that we cannot do small updates so easily and for each person. We have quite a few planes and coming up with an update must encompass a large amount of fixes and updates as it goes out world wide and can involve hundreds of people redownloading the package or various updates for it.

My second apology also that it doesnt have mouse wheel adjustments for you to more easily use.

I hate it when that happens..

Well, in the future I'll try to use mouse tuning with buttons more often. I am a clicker myself. I also like to simplify code and am notorius for having single directional tuning so you cannot go backwards but must go all the way through the numbers to get back to where you were.

OK Bill,

Thanks for the reply, and apologies accepted!

If the plane were not that great, I would just park it in the hangar, but I really like this plane, so I'll change the clickspots...
Give me something to do during the rainy season in the Pacific NW.

Thanks for a great plane!!
