CRS knob - no control can be bound to it. Add it, please?

[MelvinQuebec]

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

There is no way to bind this key (G1000 shows - but exists on many other avionics systems) in-sim. The BARO key is Ok - mapped and all. It’s the triangle portion (CRS) that I can’t find a way to bind.

I run MSFS 2024 on my “pretty decent PC” with a TurtleBeach VelocityOne Flight Universal Control System (the longest name in the industry, to be sure…) along with the VelocityOne Rudder and my low-budget-but-still-pretty-amazing Axair MILI-MIAP bundle.

Since I ran away from Xbox after realizing I would need to enjoy Minecraft-like graphics for too long, I actually got acquainted to VR with my MetaQuest 3 and Virtual Desktop. And it rocks! BUT… Each time I feel a bit lazy or when I did a ■■■■-poor job in flight planning with bad weather in VFR or simply if I cannot find the runway (grass-on-grass or…), I cannot use OBS. I need to break immersion completely to struggle with my mouse to turn this knob. I read a lot - through these forums but also on multiple Discord channels but there does not seem to be a solution.

Oh - and… THANKS for SU4!! This saved my simming experience!!

…and again (since it’s this time o’ year) : HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Everytime… There is NO binding possible.

I think the binding is named VOR1 OBS or OBS VOR1, something like that. I’m not anywhere near my sim, so I can’t check, but it absolutely can be bound, but has an awkward binding name.

[MelvinQuebec]

There was this one guy in Discord who told me the same thing - but… He never came back!

Will you?

…and it’s no rush of course - but I would like to keep this report alive until I test with success.
THANKS for trying!!

[NixonRedgrave]

I’ll be home around 00:00z. I’ll look it up for you.

[MelvinQuebec]

I tried all of them - except the “Fast”.
Don’t tell me……
…
Pfew! No. I just tried these ones - no sucess. My honor is safe.

[DementedCorn327]

To decrease/increase those 2 ones work for me. By default they are not assigned so just assigned a key without any conflict and they work as expected. You don’t see the knob physically moving but the OBS does.
The ones that say “Fast” don’t seem to produce any effect, maybe they have a specific use ?

Maybe try other keys combination or just a simple one making sure there is no conflict.

[NixonRedgrave]

My experience mirrors yours. I noted that the “Fast” bindings don’t seem to do anything that I could perceive.

[Habu2u2]

Let me just throw this in, since the first reading of your situation meant to me that you might be trying to use GPS OBS mode to get on a specific radial into a destination.
I select the “OBS” softkey once I’ve got a destination selected (I used the direct-to for my test).
Then I use the following unbound keys to set the course while in OBS mode:
I use “v” for “pfd course set”
then press “+” and "=’ to increase/decrease the course while holding “v” down.
Then set heading mode to intercept the GPS approach course I selected above, with “NAV” armed, and it will do it’s thing.
Realize that’s not very detailed, but if this is not what you’re trying to do, then doesn’t matter!!

Regards

[MelvinQuebec]

This PFD Course Set is something I never tried. I’ll let you know - Thanks, @Habu2u2!

[MelvinQuebec]

Actually, you had 2/3 for me. Here are the bindings I created.

I first put the GPS in OBS mode with the Softkey 5.

Then, your key bindings work like magic with my knob!

THANKS!!

[DementedCorn327]

Good new !. So does @Habu2u2 post can be marked as the solution ?. If I understand correctly this is not an issue anymore right ?

[hobanagerik]

I just tested the earlier bindings:

The two bound adjust this instrument, on a non-G1000 Steam 172.

Agreed that FAST bindings don’t actually seem to work, so perhaps a different bug report for those. From interacting with the mouse, scrolling the mouse wheel over it may be the “slow” method, and click dragging with the mouse, in lock interaction mode, allows for much faster turning of the knob, and that may be what the FAST binding is supposed to do but doesn’t.

The ones that do work don’t rotate the virtual cockpit knob like the mouse does, nor does it make the little click sounds that interacting with mouse does. Not sure if each of these would need a separate bug report.

Similar situation with VOR2.

FAST VOR2 bindings do nothing, regular work, but no virtual cockpit knob animation or sounds.

The animation/audio disconnect happens in other planes as well. I tried the Asobo 172. and the SWS GA8 Airvan.

The binding for VOR OBS doesn’t appear to do anything that I can see, and I tried a 750xi, and GNS 530 plane, thinking it would do the same as the PFD Soft Key 5 toggle of OBS mode.

[MelvinQuebec]

Indeed - I forgot to mention this will ONLY work on C172 - since it’s a “Specific” binding.
I really hoped that “specific” would be airplane-bound - not avionics…. But hey! I’m not the one behind the keyboard to create this…

[MelvinQuebec]

Oh and yes - the “regular” (classic) VOR knobs work with the bindings you took a screenshot of.

[MelvinQuebec]

Thanks for reminding me of this. Community rocks! Happy Holidays!

[DementedCorn327]

Moved to User Support Hub since a solution has been marked.

[hobanagerik]

I would imagine they would work for any G1000 equipped plane, that actually have a PFD, rather than just the 172.
