I seemed to have changed a setting (at least i think I might have) that makes turning the knobs in the flight deck with my mouse/scroll wheel incredibly slow.  I don't have any other method that I know if but is there a want to get the knobs to react faster to my mouse inputs?  Or is there an alternative way to do that without additional hardware, like an in sim setting?  Is there a way to map any of them to my Hotas Warthog throttle?  Or are most of you all just dealing with it?  Maybe FBW can fix it.  

I don't think its just a FBW issue.  I also have noticed that the knobs for Alt, and Hdg, etc,  are much slower then they used to on all the planes I fly. So I think its MSFS. 

If there is a way to increase it, hopefully, someone will post it.  I haven't actually looked for a setting, but just dealing with it so far.

I figured as much... my guess is that it is pretty low and the list of things to improve.  It makes flying with ATC pretty tough when being vectored.

I've always thought this was airplane-specific, but, good to know it is the sim itself -- that means if they make the rate faster, it will fix this for ALL of my aircraft.

I have noticed this with my WT G1000-equipped Milviz PC-6 as well.  It takes FOREVER to spin that HDG knob. 

One tip: do NOT use the scroll wheel to turn the knobs: you will get a tired finger that way 😉 and you will always have to keep the click point centered on screen which sucks if you use TrackIR (which I do) because the view will often wander off the correct spot which results in using the scroll wheel in vain. But even without TrackIR it may suck because you will have to keep that knob centered in view all the time anyway while you are trying to hit that little click spot.

Only recently I accidently found out that it is far more convenient to position the mouse pointer in the spot where you get to see that round arrow (pointing in the direction you want) after which you can click and HOLD the left mouse button after which you can look in any direction you want (with TrackIR anyway) while that knob keeps on turning until you release it! So I only have to focus on the click spot once, start turning the knob and then I can look around the cockpit or outside (with the knob not being on screen at all anymore!) while it is still being turned. This feels a lot more natural (like you would turn a knob in real life while looking the other way) and it's far more convenient.

I am sure this was possible with FSX and P3D too but I only found this out a while ago in MSFS LOL

Obviously this doesn't speed up the actual turning but it IS quicker than turning the knob by using the scroll wheel bit by bit with every scroll. (And maybe some people use that arrow already but aren't aware of the fact you can hold the mouse button LOL, you never know. 😉 )

click and HOLD the left mouse button

and even better, the farer away (left or right) you move the mouse while stil clicked the faster the dial is turned

LOL You're kidding! Haha! I am going to give that a try this evening! 🙂 You learn something new every day... 😉

EDIT
Hm, moving the mouse further away has no effect here, no matter which or what knob or dial I try it on (in the Kodiak 100 that is).

just tried with the FBW and no measurable effect either. yet I read this somewhere, may be for the default airplanes only?

This does work but only if you have the setting for 'blue knobs' on, I dont recall the actual in game menu setting name but it is the one that makes the knobs blue when you mouse over them.

Aaaaah, okay, well, then I'll do without the speedup because that blue is totally immersion killing. 😉 The option to click and hold works perfectly fine for me.
