mac@bath Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Frustrating "issue", regarding AutoPilot controlling in MSFS2020. I use a Warthog HOTAS and have set up a 4-way switch on the top my Flightstick to move the indicator bugs for both heading (+/-) and alt select (+/-) Hdg select (using A7+A9) will ONLY move in 10-degree steps - not 1-degree steps and the Alt select (using A6+A8) only goes in 1000ft steps (not in 100ft steps)? I would appreciate ANY help or advice you can provide to help me to better understand whether some additional parameter would adress this silly problem! Many thanks Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi Barry, could you attach you FSUIPC7.ini file please and I'll take a look. If you could also activate logging for events and buttons, load an aircraft and produce a short log file (FSUIPC7.log) exhibiting your issue and also attach then that would be helpful.

mac@bath Posted December 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Peter Many thanks for your VERY prompt response!! (I didn't even KNOW about that "logging" feature, but tried it tonight!) I "THINK" that this might well have identified the "issue" and as requested I have attached copies of both my FSUIPC7.ini AND a (much reduced!!) Log-text file. That latter file immediately identifies that (without me knowing about this¬¬ I clearly have (well, 'had'!!) the "APU START" switch on my HOTAS Throttle in the 'on' position!!!! it was the first words in EVERY line!!! I turned that switch to 'off'.....lo and behold my ALtitude now changes in 100's and my Hdg changes in single degrees!!!!! Yay!!! I'm confident that this MUST have been the reason for my problem, I did TRY to upload my Consol.log, but it was too big!! Does my FSUIPC.ini file show anything else I've done (wrongly!)?? Very many thanks for your support....and apologies for my (apparent, but unintended) silly error. Regards B FSUIPC7.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows that you are still on version 7.0.0 - you should download and install the latest version which is v7.0.2. Your log file is so large as you also activated logging for reads & writes, as well as Axes controls - you didn't really need to activate those. Also, as its only a text file, you can always zip it up before attaching - although not needed now your issue is resolved. Otherwise your ini doesn't show much - you only have 3 button and one key press assignments (and no axes assignments). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FYI, this is a known MSFS issue with certain controllers.
