"Rotate Faster" Doesn't Work
« on: January 23, 2023, 03:30:00 pm »
Hello,

When customising a parking position and using the 1 and 3 key's on Numpad to rotate an object or aircraft/parking position it says that if I hold whilst pressing 1 or 3 then it will rotate faster. This is not the case. What it will do is reset to the original position. Shift+1 resets to the original position and Shift+3 does nothing. So I'm stuck taking forever rotating what seems like a fraction of a degree at a time to get the object at the orientation I require. It's odd because the shift key works nicely moving forward and backwards quickly. Just doesn't work with rotating for whatever reason.

What am I missing?

Edit: I have now seen another set of control directions which stated that rotate quickly is F7 and F8. If that's correct why do the controls that appear in front of your face and above the aircraft when editing tell you something different and incorrect?

The quick help diagram is not saying something incorrect, since Shift+ NumPad 1/3 is supposed to rotate fast, but we are aware that for some reason it doesn't work well.

The F7/F8 keys do something different, they don't rotate "fast", they rotate at 15 degrees intervals, aligned with the parking original heading so, they are used when you need to quickly rotate something, like an object, to headings that are easier to align to the parking heading.

Has there been a solution for the Num 1/3 not working because I have this problem?

You are replying to fairly old post, this problem was fixed in February:
