March 2, 20224 yr Hello, I added a rather simple command AP_ALT_VAR_INC and DEC to my xtouch rotary knob 7 left = decrease right is increase. While using this knob ( means turning in one direction) I see in AAO that INC and Dec are permanently changing, sometimes it works when rotating very slowly, it doesn't matter in which direction the rotation goes, the function flips permanent between INC/DEC. I changed USB connector, I checked xtouch configuration, encoders are set to relative. The same happens while using AP_VS_VAR_DEC/Inc. I was using a python script from github to control my xtouch, this script is still working with the same rotary and command. I don't believe this is a hardware problem. Rotary knob one is used for NAV1 radio and working perfect in AAO. THX

I don't have that option in the X-Touch Editor. By default AAO expects the full velocity range 0 to 127 from a rotary encoder. So if "relative" means that the encoder is only sending 63-64-65 (or somehting like that) to indicate left or right turn, that won't work. The latest version of AAO has a "Rocker" option for this case, but since I don't know what velocity values are actually being sent by your device, I cannot guarantee that this will help. Maybe check if you can set them to "absolute", if there is such an option Edited March 2, 20224 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI
March 2, 20224 yr Author this device is a Behringer Xtouch Mini. The settings are done in the xtouch editor from Behringer. As I remember (the thread is closed) this is exactly following the MS2020 tutorial user rottenb has created in the AAO thread. All my rotary buttons are defined that way. They are all working properly only AP_ALT_VAR_INC/DEC is working so strange. I already have FSUPIC open, logging events, there is only sometimes a event visible, sometimes not (no filter in the ini file). I really would like to insert a screenshot but that's not so easy. If you look to this link https://dev-tty.nl/X-Touch-Mini-FS2020/getting-started/general/ there is the editor visible and the settings.

I have those too. 33 minutes ago, ReiMuell said: there is the editor visible and the settings. That configuration is for a completely different application that I am not familiar with. For AAO I am pretty sure that "Relative" is incorrect. Must be Min Value 0 and Max Value 127, as I wrote above. 33 minutes ago, ReiMuell said: only AP_ALT_VAR_INC/DEC is working so strange. That may also be an issue with the aircraft itself. In MSFS the APs of the various aircraft (and especially mods!!) rarely use the default events, and you may need to use RPN scripts or LVars instead. Also, please note that this particular event needs proper input values (100 or 1000). It won't work when you just supply "1" in the assignment (the little numerical box to the right of the event selection) Edited March 2, 20224 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI
March 3, 20224 yr Author Hello, yes rotary must be set to 0-127, then AP_ALT_VAR_INC/DEC is working corectly without any value assigned, but I will do so. What is the correct setting of the buttons MOMENTARY according to rottenb tutorial? May be it's a good idea to include this small comment into your documentation, just a proposal. But now layer B is gone, any hint. Means if I change to layer B still and only Layer A buttons are working Loaded Xtouch Editor LOAD A --> Change CC values --> DUMP A, the LOAD B --> change cc values --> Dump B In the meantime I have found the small tutorial from rottenb how to setup. Maybe other DUMMIES reading this need it. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/axis-and-ohs-help-and-questions/196415/136
March 3, 20224 yr Author Hello, I have found the problem of layer B. It was the ENCODER NO. this was identical for both layers. Layer B must be CC11 CC12 CC13 and so on.

I can't really delve into the quirks and setup procedures for all that hardware in the AAO manual - that is IMHO what forums are best at. Edited March 3, 20224 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI
