Problems with rotary control of VOR OBS settings

Discussion Hub Home Cockpit Builders

Trying to set up a rotary switch flight sim control to change VOR OBS setting. The problem is that the control moves so slowly that it is practically unusable. This is probably necessary to retain fine control of obs setting but is practically not functional with rotary switch. There doesn’t appear to be an analog event/control available at this time. I did notice that there is a “decrease vor1 obs (fast)” event listed under the RADIO->OBI category but does not appear to be functional yet.

Anyone know of a good solution to get a corresponding knob control on a flight sim that would be practical for obs setting?

thanks all!

I use an Arduino so I hd the inner knob generate 1 pulse per increment and the outer knob 10 pulses per increment. This works better but still a little slow due to the MSFS slow response to the inc and dec options

Problem I am having is finding an option for the CRS which sets the center divination line to line up with the direction of the VOR. The only option that responds is the Set VOR 1 OBS, but it set everything to North. Did you find anything?
