Hello.
I have a problem with having correct input for captain course.
I have selected:
Event ID = 70008
and
Param = 536870912 (for decreasing - MOUSE_FLAG_LEFTSINGLE)
Param = 2147483647 (for increasing - MOUSE_FLAG_RIGHTSINGLE)

However each time I'm turning an encoder it is increasing or decreasing the course value not by 1 but 3.
When I change the Event ID to e.g. heading - the situation is the same.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi.

We got a simmular report some time ago.

Please of possible....

Create a new config for testing. NOT Change your Hardware... Use same setup here.

In that Config please create One Input Config.... Input Typ : Encoder (Use the same Encoder where you got Problems at the moment.

ON LEFT:
AP ALT VAR DEC Event ID 65893 Parameter 0

On RIGHT
AP ALT VAR INC Event ID 65892 Parameter 0

Now use a Standard Aircraft like Stock B737 or Cessna C172
Run Mobiflight and check the AP Altitude. Does it also increase by 300ft instead of 100 ft ?

If YES then we must check your Settings. Maby your Encoder is set in Devices as a 1:4 whatever its a 1:1 Encoder
Maby there is also a electrical issue.

If NO then this is a Bug we need to observe.... The Other user have also problems with PMDG Only.

Good Luck !

Ok thanks. As I've noticed it was related to the fact that I used a breadboard for testing. When I connected +5V and ground directly to Arduino it works correctly.
Maybe my breadboard has some issues, never mind.
Not sure why it happens but it seems to be solved.
Thanks!
