Honeycomb Bravo Trim Wheel Question -

User Support Hub Hardware & Peripherals

I’m using the trim wheel on the logitech multipanel through spad.next and it works perfectly.
The trim wheel itself is just a rotary encoder and I think that this is much better than an analog pot mapped to to trim axis since in this way, when the AP change the aircraft trim, you have a discrepancy between the trim settings in the sim and the phisical axis position that, if the pot is a little noisy, leads to a fight between the AP and the pot itself causing some of the AP malfunctions we have seen since release.

regarding the slowliness reportet when using a rotary encoder this is my setting in spad.next

where the 0.01 in the “SIMCONNECT:ELEVATOR TRIM POSITION” Value=“0.01” ValueOperation=“Increment” is expressed in angle radiants thanks to @RoboGreg :slight_smile:
