DSD Rotary Encoder Question

[iVVChewy9141VVi]

Are you able to use the Rotary Encoder Knobs for trim?

 

I am currently building New PC so i am just asking in advance

[Knock-Knock]

Ive been using my DSD (Derek Speare Designs) P2 button box rotaries for trim on the P-51 and Spitfire. Is very fine adjustments, cause the button presses inside the rotaries are very fast, so when adjusting rudder or pitch, it takes quite a lot of rotations - when adjusting from take off for example. Thats the downside. But the big plus, is that its very precise.

 

For Jets I just use the trim HAT on the stick, but I guess the same applies.

So i guess the Rotaries would be better for Freq changes. +1

 

Love the box and all just getting set up for the F-18

 

Have a Flight Systems box (Race King)

Want to do a weapons system box and another box for other stuff but the FLT2 looks like it has enough for both in 1. Time will tell its nice to see boxes like this at such a nice price

I use the rotary encoders on my DSD for:

FW-190: Compass bezel and altimeter pressure

Bf-109: same

P-51: same

Spit: same

AJS-37: Radar brightness and range

F-5E: Flight and Engine Instrument brightness

For trim I use mostly a hat switch. In my opinion, trim does not require high accuracy but I want it to happen fast. In the Bf-109 I use the slider on my TM WH throttle for elevator trim.

Don't forget that you can use the "switch" modifiers in DCS to enable your Rotories to do multiple functions in the same cockpit.
