Rotary Encoder decoded by FSUIPC with strange results

[Alhard Horstmann]

Hi Pete,

I coded a rotary encoder for trim wheel purpose with FSUIPC like this:

---------------------------------

[Buttons]
!2=;Änderung wegen TrimWheel 170728
ButtonRepeat=20,10
PollInterval=10
3=CP(+0,6)0,7,Cx43000BC0,xC0010100 ; ELEV_TRIM Sword Decr
4=CP(+0,6)0,7,Cx43000BC0,xC0010100 ; ELEV_TRIM Sword Decr
1=CP(+0,7)0,6,Cx33000BC0,x3FFF0100 ; ELEV_TRIM Sword Incr
2=CP(+0,7)0,6,Cx33000BC0,x3FFF0100 ; ELEV_TRIM Sword Incr

--------------------------------

It worked for some days perfect. I could move the trim wheel, sitting on a rotary encoder, and the plane followed the control.

Now , when I move the trim wheel, the throttle move back to a 50% position. I am not aware, that I changed anything relevant to this problem.

The standard controller assignment in FSX is NOT used.

I reloaded my FSX and the C172, and always the same effect: moving trim wheel , moving thottle axis.

Here is the log file, see attachment and remarks below:

Remarks to the LOG files. From line 97189 on I move the throttle and mixture.

Then in line 127032 I connected the USB encoder trim wheel. I moved the trime wheel and suddenly in line 127203 the AXIS_THROTTLE_SET was moved.

I disconnected and connected the USB encoder just for test purpose. The behaviour is still there with USB encoder permanent connected.

What did I  do wrong? What shall I check additionally?

Thanks

Use Joystick Letters as described in the user manual.  It sounds like they're being renumbered, which is pretty common.

Thanks Stefan,  I will try

Hi All, I used Joystick Letters and it is still NOT working.

What more infos do you need?

Please help.

Your log shows you are using FSUIPC version 4.921f. I cannot support such old versions. Please update to 4.971.

If your Trim Wheel is only writing to offset 0BC0 then it cannot possibly change the throttle unless something is wrong in the aircraft modelling or the sim.

I think it is more likely that you didn't actually disable controllers in the Sim, and it has picked up your trim wheel axis and automatically assigned it. This is a danger unless you actually disable controllers in the sim -- it is thinking it is being helpful!

These log entries do indicate that your Throttle is ittering, BTW.  Correct calibration should fix that, and in fact for jitters less than the Delta (default 256) it would be eliminated by assignment in FSUIPC.

Hello Pete, good to have you back. How was the trip to the US?

Thanks for your advises. Normally I check the versions. Sorry.

I think disabling controllers in the sim could solve the problem. Normally I never disable the controllers in the controller disable box. I delete all assignments in the standard FSX controller assignments.

I will follow your advises and report again.
