[PRESS AND HOLD] ON / OFF Button Requiring Multiple Presses

This one has been bothering me for ages and I just keep forgetting to post about. Weird I haven't seen anyone else mention it, so either everyone else is living with it too or it's only me?

I find the UFC ON / OFF button frequently requires me to hit it repeatedly to get it to work. This seems to be especially prevalent at startup, and even more so when trying to turn on the datalink, I'll need to click the button 3 - 7 times before ON actually displays.

Toggling TACAN and ILS when in the air seems to usually require fewer buttons presses.

How fast are you clicking the mouse button? Sometimes I find that clicking once very fast doesn't give the UFC button enough time to fully depress; I've encountered the same thing when typing numbers into the UFC with the numpad as well. The launch bar switch is a really good example of this, if you click it and release before the switch has fully engaged, it will revert back to its original state.

What I've started doing ever since then is holding the mouse button for a split second longer and typing just a tad slower just to ensure the animation of the buttons depressing plays out.

Slightly long press is required on the UFC on/off I have found.

That said I recently noticed left mouse button micro switch on my mouse was faulty. And since sorting the spring out in the switch have less issues. Maybe your mouse is also faulty?

Press it and hold it a little bit longer, maybe half a sec and it will work, it is probably intended so you don't turn on stuff by accident.

I have noticed this bug quite a lot especially when entering the longitude part of a coordinate, if you press W/E too quickly after pressing enter on the latitude, it will just flash W/E at then not actually take it.

Yep, just hold it a little longer. I have a programmable "keyboard" that I use AutoHotKey to press various buttons for me and the on/off button was always a problem until I figured out how to make it hold the key down briefly rather than just the quick press that it did by default. I agree that the UFC numpad and launch bars are also a challenge in this way.

i had similar issue. turned out it was the windows mouse properties double click speed. see this link.

Cool. Pressing and holding it seems to be working just fine. Thanks for the info!

I also notice that some of these buttons don't seem to have the entire square active. Seems I sometimes need to be very accurate at hitting the center.
