There's three answers to this: - the current method will stay as an option on right-click (but probably off by default) - the current method will stay available on Tab, especially for laptop users / Mac users who haven't found (or don't want) the option in System Preferences to enable right-clicking (best for last!) - at least on my MacBook Pro, with right-clicks enabled in System Preferences, I *can* right-drag. This was a complete surprise to me when testing the new code, but actually it works great; touches on the right-click area which become drags are interpreted as right-dragging and everything just works. Indeed, looking this way is almost /more/ natural than with the mouse, although the sensitivity needs to be tweaked. Of course I have no idea which other laptop trackpads / OSs support this - I assume all must support right clicking somehow since it's a bit more likely to be needed on Linux/Windows :) > Then again, not that many people probably use Flightgear on a laptop, > and I haven't tried the latest Git. I would urge you to when you have time, all feedback is good!
