Hi. I am trying to get a KY040 Rotary Encoder to input my Air Speed on the MCP of PMDG737 on screen cockpit
It works with event ID 70016 to increase the speed, but fails to decrease the speed at all and just increases the speed by one knott with a counter clockwise twist
My params in MobiFlight are Left = Minus One and Right= Plus One. Am I missing something.

Many thanks for your swift reply thatchi. As I am a newbee, I cannot find a way to stay with EventID 70016 AND invoke a mouse wheel command. I need to learn the software a little more......
15 Minutes later.. Thanks for the direction thatchi .... your direction was perfect and I just needed a little bit more. Job done and Rotary now perfect. Many Thanks
For anyone else with this problem, the solution is simple. Inputs are always Event ID, mine was 70016 for IAS on PMDG737. The final part is to put the mouse wheel invoke in the parameter left and right field
