Set heading bug in single degrees?

[Rhinozherous 90]

Hello! 

Is it possible to set the HDG bug in single degrees? I am only able to set it in 5 degrees chunks? This in the 152 and 172 so far.

IIRC there is an outer and inner knob, make sure you are using the correct one. At least you should be able to set it in single degrees.

Nope. Only one knob. Looks like a bug to me.

You can also bind a kb or controller button to change hdg and or OBS

Brilliant! Thank you sir!

GRRR! The key increments in 10 degrees as well.😡

I bet you're using a Honeycomb yoke controller. 

In my case, for some reason, when I use the Honeycomb, the heading uses large increments.  When I use my Saitek yoke, I can increment by single degrees.

I am! That is so bizarre! Why on earth would that matter? LOL

Dunno, it just does.  I think it's a bug when MSFS processes the yoke.

I've noticed that sometimes, on first load, the increment is 1deg until I press a button on the yoke and then the jumps start happening.

Perhaps its worth reporting to https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us as it is of obvious frustration for you.

Interesting thread.

In the alpha one click on the mouse scroll wheel would give 10 degrees. Using keyboard assignments would also be 10 degrees for 1 press. I could always position the mouse to just slightly left or right of the HDG Knob (cursor turns to half arrow) and use a left mouse click to achieve a 1 degree increment.

Now in the release version both the mouse wheel and keyboard assignment gives me 1 degree increments.

I guess you are not using a Honeycomb Yoke. It seems to be a problem when people use a Honeycomb.

No i have a Thrustmaster Warthog setup.

[smoothchat 99]

I have a Saitek and Honeycomb.

It only happens when i am using the Honeycomb.

What controls on each controller are you using to adjust the heading? The buttons on the Saitek are momentary contact, like a keyboard key. The Honeycomb does not use momentary contact switches -- are you using a switch on the Honeycomb somehow, or the rotary Increase\Decrease knob to adjust the heading?

Interesting. I have assigned the two black switches on the right side handle of my yoke to change the Heading Bug.

I thought that they would be momentary.

When I am using the honeycomb, even the keyboard keys increment by 5-10deg.

In the posts above, you'll see that I am not the only one to see this happening. And its only when using the Honeycomb. It looks like MSFS changes something when the Honeycomb is present.

Perhaps they use a different subroutine to handle the Honeycomb (and it's non-momentary switches) and they have introduced a bug.

If I use my Saitek Yoke instead, the problem is gone.

You are correct, the switches on the Honeycomb yoke horns are momentary as far as I know. I was thinking of the rocker switches on the Honeycomb panel for some reason -- so disregard! I will update my post above.
