Hi,

I just upgraded my Mega to the latest firmware (I believe 7.10.0.11 ???). The encoder don't work correctly anymore.

For example, the encoder for the ALT is programmed to do 100ft increments/decrements per step. It seems to be doubled.

The FSUIPC console shows me the 2 steps, although I only did one physically. What do I do wrong?

The encoder type is '1 detent per cycle (11)', I also tried the '00' with no change. When setting 2 detents, it does 4 steps...

Cheers !

1. What Sim..... And what "typ of Input" ( EventID, Offset Write or Key/Joystick emuation)
2. Try to use ADMIN Mode fo both.... Mobiflight and Sim

3. Take care about BETA Version. Official Version is 7.10 ! If you use Beta brand ( 7.10.xx) then this are mostly teting versions from Sebastian where he fix probems from single users.... Extremly said he maybe try to solve a probem for ONE person by "double" the encoder Inputs just for testing ! I don´t think so, but important is the fact those BETA releases are NOT for use to all people. This is experimental.
So please DOWNGRADE to 7.10 Also remove firmware by hand (resave the device settings to not need to create all for new).
If problem is still happen with 7.10 then report again !
Good Luck !

Hi again,

For your info (and sorry I didn't mention before), I use MSFS2020

I'm having a rotary encoder as type of input on FSUIPC Offset 0x07D4. But no worries, the problem has vanished. It's like Mobiflight or FSUIPC was running twice and picking up the events and inputs twice.

When it comes to the version, I got a notification that there was a new version available, so I use it (still do btw) :) Thanks for your input and advice.


Bye for now :thumbup:
