Walk around tip of the day

[J van E]

Maybe some of you already know this but I didn't. I love doing the walk around but somehow I don't like having to press that very little > to move to the next step (or < to move to the previous one): having to move the mouse from the bottom of the walk around screen to the top and back again sort of breaks the flow of things. Yes, I know, it's a minor annoyance.

Anyway, I just discovered (why didn't I try this with the C172 before!) that when you open the walk around window with Shift-8 you can from then on use the A key (the default key for switching views within a certain view category) to move to the next step!!! This way you can constantly keep your mouse over the icons at the bottom to check things! To me this little 'feature' really makes the walk around nicer to do. And it speeds up the process too. Btw you can also use Shift-A to move back to the previous step(s)!

Again, it's a small thing but sometimes small things can mean a lot.

Good tip many thanks I'll give it a go.

Oops forgot to try out "A" I'll do it next time. Thanks again for the tip, as I do have "A" set up with EZDOK I'll assume it will work okay.

Hey there J van E , thanks for the tip. I will try it next time I use the 172.
