4.33 CRS stepping in HSI
-
I mapped the 5 deg steps to an extra rocker on my TM LMFD, but I’m only seeing 1 deg changes no matter how fast I press button.
Cheers, Uwe

If you edit the config and add…
set g_nKnobAccelerationDelta 0
…this will make the “By1” and “default(By5)” callbacks work without acceleration, i.e. By1 = 1, normal = always 5.
Please give it a try.
Once more: if g_nKnobAccelerationDelta is NOT 0 (default 60, unit is milliseconds in which the next input has to occur), it will not change the “by1” callbacks at all. Instead the “Normal” callbacks will behave as “By1” if used once and accelerated to “by5” if used in rapid succession. Maybe there is simply a misunderstanding here.
Acceleration works like a charm in 4.33. Simply verify by using the mouse wheel on the HSI/CRS spots. If you move slowly, you get increase by1. If you move quickly, you get by5 movements.

Thank you Darkman! Confirmed…works like before with 5 step increments. I agree that it’s a lot faster now using the mouse wheel with acceleration enabled. However in order to do this for me, I have to take my hands off of the stick, which I don’t like doing especially when flying in close formation.

In the long run it might be a smart idea to have a
set g_nKnobAccelerationDeltaMouseWheel XX
and a
set g_nKnobAccelerationDeltaKeyboard XXObviously you can not create inputs fast enough with the keyboard (60ms = 16,6 Hz = 1000 Keypresses per Minute)
Keyboard users have the option to set the
set g_nKnobAccelerationDelta 0
which results in a 5° step always
I guess this will also disable the accelerarion for the Mouse wheelOr they set
set g_nKnobAccelerationDelta XX (with XX something >60 timed so that it is a resonable ergonomic limit for fast keypresses).
The backdraft is that they´d have to scroll really slowly to avoid unwated siwtching to fast mode, if/when they would use the mouse.XX probably somewehere between 200 and 300 ms
Anyway something to play around with until we can specify two different limits for Mousewheel and Keypress/Mousecklick
Edit: testes and it works as described 250 ms is a good compromise for me when using the keyboard (as expected mouse wheel scrolling must be done really SLOW to get 1° increments)

To share my tests :
I use an X52 and i have mapped this functionnality on the rotary knob under the forefinger. In my SST program i did an advanced command only using the repeat line with 5 successive SHIFT M with a quantize time of 0.050.
In the falcon bms.cfg file i have had the line set g_nKnobAccelerationDelta 250 like Hans did and it work fine. -
Works using the mouse wheel.
It only does when SETUP-CONTROLLERS-ADVANCED-VIEW CONTROL-VIEW ZOOM is not set to “Wheel - Mouse”.
Would it be possible to enable mouse wheel control even though “Wheel - Mouse” is selected?
-
“set g_bMouseButton4TogglesClickablePit 1 // If set, the 4th mouse button (if available) will toggle between mouselook and clickable pit. By the way: the wheel is button 3”
Does this setting allow to change mid-flight between mousewheel clicking and mousewheel FOV?

Well I must disagree, because my mouse wheel DOES control zoom.

Nope, works the same as in 4.32 - it toggles the mouselook/cursor functionality. Wheel is unaffected.

Just to confirm that we’re talking about the same thing:
-
When I set VIEW ZOOM to “Wheel - Mouse”, and scroll the mouse wheel e.g. in the Orbit camera, the camera will move away from or closer to the focus object.
-
When I set VIEW ZOOM to “Keyboard”, and scroll the mouse wheel e.g. in the Orbit camera, the camera will zoom out and zoom in with reference to the focus object.
“External mouselook” is enabled in both cases.
I can only rotate the altimeter knob and the CRS knob with the mouse wheel in case 2), but not in case 1).

-
Let’s be clear, are we talking about controlling FOV with mousewheel or ZOOM with mousewheel? FOV and ZOOM are different. FOV controls how wide the camera angle is and ZOOM moves the camera toward or away from the object. FOV works in cockpit and in external but ZOOM works only in external view (not cockpit).
-
I am guilty here of imprecise terminology and I apologize.
Firstly, my view zoom is set to keyboard.
Secondly, my mouse wheel controls FOV.
I am used to the common parlance equating zoom with FOV. I had not realised BMS does not use this parlance.

Okay question: how I can drive CRS/HDG 1/5 deg step throught assigned key? In Setup/Controllers I’m been able to assign different keys. Now: how can I use it? NOT MOUSE WHEEL only keys. Many thanks

GThanks for reply, tomorrow I will try. Really I hope to be able to use different keys for 1/5 deg. For me mousewheel it’s out of question.
