reported Engine RPM up/down button press too sensitive

[Bagpipe]

As per title, when assigned to button presses the lever moves probably twice as quick as I would like it too making engine management very tricky.

 

Can this be adjusted pretty please?

It would be great to have slower moving speed. Or maybe even a setting for the speed like in msfs2020.

I agree the button commands for prop speed are too "fast" for precise control. Personally I use the axis command and that's fine.

Out of curiosity, I changed the "gain" parameter for this command in "clickabledata.lua", in folder "...\Mods\aircraft\SpitfireLFMkIX\Cockpit\Scripts" from 0.1 to 0.01 and that made the lever movement with button commands more controllable. I tried 0.05 first, but that didn't feel much better for me. This is the original line before I changed it:

elements["PROP"] = default_movable_axis(_("Cockpit.SpitfireLFMkIX.pitch"), devices.ENGINE_CONTROLS, device_commands.Button_6, 129, 0.0, 0.1, true, false)

and this is the line after the change:

elements["PROP"] = default_movable_axis(_("Cockpit.SpitfireLFMkIX.pitch"), devices.ENGINE_CONTROLS, device_commands.Button_6, 129, 0.0, 0.01, true, false)

I have made a fair number of such changes because I've rarely or never seen ED making these "cosmetic" changes.

The downside of editing these files is that they are overwritten with the stock files each time you do an update or repair. The modified files therefore need to be backed up.

I use OvGME to handle that.

PS: do not edit these files with programs like Word as these might insert unwanted formatting! The free Notepad++ works fine.

I use the hat switch at the top of the joystick for the RPM's. Works great. I use the mouse for viewing so it's not a problem.
