Rotary Encoder to Adjust the Pressure Setting is Unusable

[Hawkeye91]

When you have a rotary encoder set to change the pressure setting (CW/CCW keybinds) it jumps in 00.05" at a time. This is unusable. I have my rotary encoder set to the lowest press time possible in the software for it (10ms). These 00.05" jumps make it impossible to set local pressure settings with hardware. I could get around this if there was also an axis assignment to for the pressure setting by changing my rotary encoder to an axis, but there isn't an axis for the altimeter setting either.

I absolutely agree. I also tried using one of the encoders on the WW Orion2.

I agree. And I did not find a satisfactory mod. The only way it works well is with the mouse in the cockpit.

You can create a custom bind which moves the wheel at a higher/slower rate…take a look at Quaggles input injector thing.

Actually I found a solution in the collection created by @Munkwolf at his GitHub site:https://github.com/Munkwolf/dcs-community-keybinds
You could add these lines directly into the "default.lua" under "DRIVE:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Input\FA-18C\joystick"

-- Standby Pressure Altimeter AAU-52/A
{cockpit_device_id = devices.AAU52, pressed = aau52_commands.AAU52_ClkCmd_ZeroSetting, value_pressed = -0.01, name = _('AAU-52 Altimeter Pressure Setting Knob - CCW/Decrease (Slow)'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Custom')}},
{cockpit_device_id = devices.AAU52, pressed = aau52_commands.AAU52_ClkCmd_ZeroSetting, value_pressed = 0.01, name = _('AAU-52 Altimeter Pressure Setting Knob - CW/Increase (Slow)'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Custom')}},

But that file will be restored to its original content by any update or repair.
Using the Command Injector created by @Quaggles you would have these lines in a "default.lua" under "Saved Games" and that will survive updates and repaires.

PS: I found these a bit slow, therefore changed the "value_pressed" parameters to -0.2/0.2

Will this pass Integrity Check for playing online?

Yes.

I'm struggling with this too. Surprised it's not more widely reported, but it's unclear why the default setting jump is so large!
