[Video Tutorial] Fix your Digital Trim Wheel (Bravo, Logitech, Desktop Aviator, etc.) in-game speed AND precision using freeware

Do the button presses show up in the ms controls view? They may not be assigned correctly there.

@RankPie46356598 Thanks for responding. I forgot that you were the first Bravo user to report success.

@BassMarmot48037 reports that the button presses are not even showing up for the vjoy device in the sim, but that’s not surprising considering that they’re not even showing up on the input viewer in joystick gremlin. That’s the first thing we have to solve.

Except for the v-joy version difference (i’ve got 2.1.8 instead of 2.1.9), i do not see any issues with the screenshots. I do not have the force feedback tickboxes ticked, as bravo doesn’t have force feedback.

I don’t use mine in VR, just 2d, but it works perfectly fine the way you laid out in the video. If you (for testing purposes), remove the assignment of the bravo trim wheel in flight sim for the elevator up and down, does the trimwheel do nothing at all?

and in joystick gremlin, there’s a settings tab. Mine’s configured like this (ignore the bravo not showing up right now, it’s unplugged during work hours :))

Thanks for all of the help guys.
I changed the macro values and rebooted my machine as you suggested and it’s working now.
Again, many thanks for the time involved doing this. It’s great to know that there are still so many really decent people such as yourselves out there.

Another possible solution…

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

I haven’t tried it myself yet, but this new free option looks very promising. It converts the button presses of a digital trim wheel (like bravo, Logitech, DA) into an analog axis, with adjustable sensitivity. This should allow you to tune your physical trim wheel to match the trim wheel movement in a given plane in the sim. The only disadvantage of this approach should be that your trim wheel is now analog, which means that it can get out of sync if autopilot is used. https://authentikit.org/…

I only just came across this topic. Thought I’d give a mention to ‘Authentikit Tuning App’ that I’ve been using with the Bravo trim wheel. Very simple and freeware.

I completely agree, @AmiableGalaxy9! I updated the description on YouTube for the tutorial video and pinned a comment to mention the Authentikit App. It is what I am using myelf now.
