To enhance the latest Virtual Cockpit update even further, a new type of rotational switch class has been implemented to allow lighting controls (and some others) to work more like the potentiometers they were and have finer control over them:
As you might be able to tell from the video, these switches are now operated by holding left click on the knob and pulling the mouse to the sides to rotate them. On the 2D panel the control has been made consistent to this changed VC behavior, although the finite number of bitmap states for the switches make this slightly awkward. I think the consistency of control between 2D and VC is more important though.
When updating to the latest NASSP Beta, the affected switches will sadly have the wrong switch positions in old scenarios, so be aware of that. The switches are:
-All flood, integral, numerics controls in the CSM and LM
-CSM high gain antenna and LM steerable S-band antenna pitch and yaw controls
-ORDEAL altitude selection in CSM and LM
-SPS gimbal trim thumbwheels (control hasn't changed for this, but saving/loading in scenarios at the 0.1° increments is fixed now, see https://github.com/orbiternassp/NASSP/issues/1209)
