Some knobs not working with Touch

#1 Post by Sveino »

Hello,

I have set up a touch monitor as second screen, running Air Manager with the AP panel for 737. All set up in Windows 10.

Touch is working on the monitor, but I can not get the knobs to work. The buttons of the AP panel works ok.

When I touch, hold and rotate the knobs, it is visually turning, but nothing else happen (no change of value). If I switch to mouse, I get the curved pointer and all works ok.

Guess I have missed something stupid, but can't understand what :?

Sounds like you haven't set the input to touch.

Input is set to touch and the switches (in the same panel) is working with touch. Just the knobs not changing values when turned.

Touch for dials is fiddly without a knobster. You should be getting a blue highlight when you touch the dial, once that appears move your finger outwards from the middle of the knob and then rotate around the outside of the knob graphic. You'll soon get fed up with it and get yourself a knobster.
