How to turn knob on PC Simulator
« on: March 26, 2023, 11:52:35 AM »
On the simulator on my PC I cannot figure how to turn the knob for adjusting volume.  Is there some magic way to turn the knob to lower volume of sound for example?

Also my physical keyboard doesn't type when there is a place to type, do we have to use the keyboard on the screen?

I figured it out on accident, it's the mouse scroll wheel!!!

Yes, you have to use the HC keypad, clicking on one letter at a time. Fortunately, you don't have to do it often.

I’m using a laptop with no mouse scroll and can’t get the knob to turn, any ideas?
Thanks,
Rick

I believe you will need a mouse, if you have a USB port to plug it into.

The answer is:

Place two fingers on the touchpad and move them up and down to scroll vertically, or left and right to scroll horizontally.
