They provide a way for a cockpit to be partially self-documenting, when a user explores, and can also provide a positive confirmation of state or action, which is often lacking in 3D cockpit interactions due to absence of audio or haptic feedback. (Which is a fancy way of saying, switches don't click or feel to move). | |||
A tooltip is specified via a set-tooltip command in a pick (or slider or knob) animation's <hovered> bindings group. The tooltip is configured at this time, especially content and an ID.
