Hallo people!
I'm finishing my Cessna cockpit using Mobiflight on MSFS2020, but I'm having a little issue with Cessna Magneto switch, i.e the starter switch. I'm using a 12 positions rotary locked to operate only 5 pos, wired correctly the Gnd pin and the 5 pins related to OFF, R, L, BOTH and Start. I used either "Magneto switch off" offset and relative other 4 positions and also "MAGNETO OFF" offset and his other 4 positions, filling only the OnPress tab, but when I test the hardware:
- OFF position is ok
- R position is ok
- Switching on L, nothing happens, idem for Both
- On START the ignition key in MSFS move on Start then come back with unresponsive movement.
I checked the wiring, all is ok, tested also another type of Rotary (5 positions only), same result..

Maybe I'm using wrong offset?
Thankyou in advance,
Marco
******EDIT:****
Solved! It was something with my Mega, some pins were not responding. Solved re-flashing MF firmware.
