I had the same problem in the dcs f18. i got the knob to work via adjusting the dwell time in the winwing app. One problem with that is the software stores the encoder clicks and executes them at the timing you specify, so if you give the knob a full rotation, you can get up, go make a cup of coffee then come back to see the bug still creeping around the compass rose at like 1 degree per click. I also had the same problem in the Cessna 172 g1000 (and other planes in msfs) my workaround for that was to map the "increase heading" command to the push button function of the knob as well as the clockwise rotation of the encoder. So when you push the knob down and hold it, the the bug moves very fast around the compass. It can only go one direction, but it's really fast. Then when I get close I let go and use the encoder for fine adjustment. However, I haven't flown the f18 (dcs) in a while (been getting into dcs war birds and comercial airliners in msfs) so I haven't tried my Cessna workaround in the f18. Also, I can't remember if dcs allows you to assign two controls from the same device to the same function like in msfs. If it doesn't, then you may be able to map the knob push to the propper keyboard key via the winwing software, so dcs will see it as a keyboard command. The problem with that though is that it will stay mapped to that key for every aircraft. So if you wanted to use it for something else, you'll have to map the function to that keyboard key (whichever it is). I'm not sure if the winwing app has that functionality. I mapped one of the buttons on my VKB flight stick to the keyboard via the VKB software (f9 key to re-center my Trackir. Then I learned that trackir has key mapping...). If not, I'm sure one of the third party mapping apps will do this for you. Try the keyboard command. If when you hold it down the bug travels fast, then it may work. Good luck.

Thanks YoYo... I did receive an update after saving the last track. That may have something to do with it.

I started flying the missions a couple of weeks ago. When I finished the 4th mission (I think) I saved the track because I got like 3 kills. I watched it immediately after, the track was out of sync as it had me crashing into the ground as I was strafing an airfield, but I was able to watch it. I then began saving the tracks of all the missions and I'm now on mission 7. I've played mission 7 like 3 times and I get shot down each time. So, I desperately didn't want, for the fourth time, to start my plane, take off, wait for 11 more planes to take off, climb to angels 21 etc., so I had the idea that I could watch the saved track and fast forward to where I meet up with the bombers then take control and fly the rest of the mission, kind of like having a save point. But now, when I try to watch the track, it skips to the end of mission briefing, and so do all of the other BNBOB saved tracks, including one I've already watched. My other tracks, even ones I saved before I started the campaign work fine. What gives? I'm using the paid version of the Normandy 2 map.
