OBS knob step is 10 degrees

Post by Jarek »

I'm seeing some strange issue. With engine running, all course knobs (OBS, ADF, gyro drift) rotate by 10 degrees. Everything works normally (step is 1 degree) until I start the engine...
Latest update is applied. I'm not sure if something got corrupted with my installation or this is some general problem. P3Dv4 version.

Hello Jarek,

are you using mousewheel to change the values. Also have you tried a new flight over a saved flight.

thanks,
Lewis

yes, I'm using mousewheel. It is a fresh, new sim scenario. Effect is always the same. Once engine is running it switches to 10-degree mode and stays there, even if engine is shut down later.

Edit: Topic is frozen until I will be able to identify the root cause. I was able to confirm that it does not happen every time.

I was able to reproduce this issue just by moving throttle and mixture rods simultaneously from 100% to 0 (from stop to stop).
Plane was started in a new sim scenario, didn't touch anything except these 2 rods - all switches in off position, fuel selector off.
When plane was loaded, it had both throttle and mixture set to 100%.

Hi Jarek,

Unable to reproduce this behaviour here at present. Do you have hardware axes assigned for both the throttle and mixture control?

Thanks,

Hi Nick,

Nothing is set in the A2A Cherokee Input Configurator.
In P3D, this is pretty simple setup - Z Axis assigned to "Mixture axis" and X Axis to "Throttle axis"

I will send you link with video in PM, I have this recorded.
