Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant trim wheel suddenly very insensitive (as of World Update 4)

Thanks for the reminder! Forgot I was going to look at this. OK, so I’m a beginner at FSUIPC, but I found this on page 26 of the user guide:

Ok, so it looks horrible, and I’ve no clue as to what Sbyte, Sword, Ubyte and Uword are, but, for me, this was a case of bung in what it says and hope for the best.

So follow the instructions above, and the entry box for the button assignment (remember it’s not an axis) for down/up rotation of the wheel looks like this in the FSUIPC box:

You can change the Decr/Incr numbers from 128 to any other value to increase or decrease sensitivity by changing the parameter box where it says “128/16383” and “128/-16383” - so change the 128 to something else - bigger numbers mean more movement for the rotation of the wheel (really press of the button).

That way you can make it as sensitive or insensitive as you want.

Remember, with the trim wheel, don’t check the “repeat while held” box

If you use Profile Specific settings, as I’ve done here, you can change the sensitivity of the wheel for each aircraft profile you have so the sensitivity is different for each plane if you want.

What all this translates to in my ini file is:
|23=PA,21,Cx42000BC0,xC0010080 -{offset sword decrement, offset 0BC0 (Decr=128, Limit=-16383)}-
|24=PA,22,Cx32000BC0,x3FFF0080 -{offset sword increment, offset 0BC0 (Incr=128, Limit=16383)}-

But that all gets added automatically! Just as well!

Hope that helps
