mouse select?

[4 Sagan]

Hello:

Well I'm still setting out side some kind of space port.
I found request to enter but can't highlight it.
arrow keys doesn't work ,pov doesn't work.(Yes I know to configure a POV)
Tried config joy / no joy.
This ship has two engines/ I should have a throttle for each engine.
That should be a given...

Just to give you a heads up.
I have FSX with rudder w/ toe brakes, CyborgX joy and controls to operate every aspect of a 4 engine prop and I know how to use them.

I know the practical application of Newton's laws of motion and 0 gravity physics.

But this thing called FD..I haven't figured the very simplest menu selection, I can't look around cockpit w / pov , can't easily select cockpit menu items with mouse.

Yes. I played FE on my ATARI STE for years. I still have the original box, map and doc.

Is there a question somewhere in there?
If you're making suggestions you should post them in the gameplay and features forum.

Hi Commander,

It's a good idea to start with the single player scenarios first. The first mission is called "waste disposal" you can use it to set up your controls. Each mission will give you information on how to control the ship, they are quite tricky but I'd recommend getting through at least the few.

I've hit every key on my keyboard and pushed every button on my joy stick.

Look at the left hand data screen in your cockpit and select the contacts tab :
Unable to select: contacts tab

Select Azeban City and request docking.
Unable to select: request docking.

I know how to fly ship.
