CMO Build 1115.6.

One more bug to report, but will do that via another post, per protocol.

Thanks.

I have seen several other comments to this effect as well. It moves MUCH faster. Removal of right click center makes this much less useful and seems unnecessary. Thanks.

I disagree. I much prefer right-click drag.

Agree, but seems this battle is lost.

If they choose to aggravate the customer, who supports them with money for sales, then I (and others like me, who clearly are a reasonable number, judging by the posts) will vote with my feet and spend my money elsewhere. Easy.

I do too. Much better, smoother and faster than having to scroll with the arrows all the time. I never used the right click center very much. Maybe it's because I play on a laptop with the trackpad and not a mouse (only occasionally).

To each their own.

Right-click - centre as before.
Left-click-drag - moves the globe like the current drag.

However there might be a problem interfering with a current action, like course setting or using the distance tool.

Yeah, with the right-click centering, if I wanted something on the edge of the screen, I either arrowed, or clicked off-center to get it where I wanted it.
With right-click drag, I put it where I want it. Done. YMMV.

If someone's going to not buy the game over that kind of simple change...well, you simply can't make everyone happy, so you probably shouldn't try. Isn't going to happen. Besides, what about those of us who have already said we LIKE the new change...

I think using a right click without some real thought will cause some serious issues with some of the new UI, especially the mouse drag of the map.
