Let assume that i have 4 buttons,  (1 2 3 4).

Is there anyway to use (1,2) to select knob and (3, 4) to rotate it?

We have altimeter knob, speed knob, communication frequency knob. I want to use 1 to select previous knob, and 2 to select next knob. Then use 3 to rorate anticlockwise, and use 4 to rotate clockwise.

Is it possible?

You should be able to do that in Spad.next.

Create a local variable that can hold values 1-3 and change that number up and down with buttons 1 & 2

Then when buttons 3 or 4 are pressed you can use the value of the local variable to know which control you are trying to alter.

Joystick Gremlin can probably also do it with modes, where 1 & 2 switches between "altimiter knob mode", "speed knob mode" etc, and depending on which mode is active then 3 & 4 sends the proper keystrokes to rotate the altimiter/speed knob etc.

If scripting is your thing then an Autohotkey script can also handle some similar logic to switch modes/keystrokes.

Actually, when i fly, i just don't want to touch keyboard and mouse at all.

I have some available axies and buttons on my joystick. But i just cannot configure my joystick axies works like xbox controller. Interact with cockpit just using joystick

There is no cursor when i use axies on joystick no matter how i configure control settings

Not sure how to best do what you are suggesting, but I use the mouse wheel as a rotory knob by hovering over the knob and turning the wheel whichever way I want.  Most of the time, I use the B key to change the altimeter and D to change the DI, but the mouse wheel for the heading selector, though I could use it for the altimeter and DI.

If you want MSFS to think your joystick is actually an XBox controller, you could try the x360ce controller emulator: https://www.x360ce.com/ It lets you assign joystick buttons and axes to act like axes and buttons on a virtual XBox controller.

Thansk, that works like a charm

At 8:09 is an example of how to make a keyboard button or controller button turn a knob. The hard part is figuring out which command in the options list is the one to turn a specific knob.

 

Just buy a Bodnar Board and add as many buttons and rotary encoders as you like. Comes with USB cable, super easy to make any controls. And not expensive.

Or use a Knobster in combination with AirManager, even easier.
