Hi James, 

Did a git pull SG/FG/fgdata a few hours ago,
and a Release re-build in Windows 7... and took the 
default c172p for spin...

I had been reading about your changes, but I 
was in for some surprises ;=)) And I understand 
it is a WIP...

While I like the cursor changes to <--> when you 
hover over a knob, it seem now the knob only turns 
one way, unless you hold the Alt key down...

Previously you just shifted to the left or right 
of the knob for this direction change...

Is that the expected UI change? Or am I missing 
something...

Then the compass bug starts clockwise - faster 
if you hold shift... unless with the Alt key...
like the altimeter...

And the magnetos clockwise, but could not engage 
starter with mouse...

But the compass knob goes anticlockwise, like the 2 
ADF... each reversed on Alt key... and each faster 
with Shift...

So I can understand they turn one way unless the 
Alt key is held, then the other way... but could 
they not all default to the SAME direction, say 
clockwise, and the Alt key reverse that?

Or I suppose you could commit the default direction 
to memory ;=)) like background compass plates default 
anti, while foreground needles and bugs clockwise...

Panel lights seemed to be move right to brighten,
move left to dim, rather than clicks...

Could not operate the flaps level with the mouse, 
but had never tried with the mouse before, so 
maybe that stayed the same?

Also like the 'hand' for buttons, and vertical 
up-down arrow over switches... Did not have time 
to explore more tonight... but in general it 
'felt' good. Thanks...

Did get some nasal errors to the console -
Nasal runtime error: nil used in numeric context

Just some user feedback. HTH.
