“Control to repeat while held” - Is it possible to increase the pauses between repeats?

[SMN204]

 Function - “Control to repeat while held”
Is it possible to increase the pauses between repeats?

For example:
I have assigned an action to Turn knob. When I press the assignet button - I get one small turn of the turn knob.
When I select “Control to repeat while held” and hold down the button I get a very fast rotation of my turn knob.....
I want to reduce the rotation speed of my turn knob.
Is it possible to do this by increasing the delay between repeats while holding the assignet button, for example?
Or some other way...?

Yes - please see the ButtonRepeat ini parameter - from the Advanced User guide:

Quote

ButtonRepeat=20,10: The first number here controls the button repeat rate, when repeating is enabled for a specific button. The range is 1 to 100 and is the number of repeats per second. Note that the higher rates may not actually be achievable. If you want no limit placed, allowing the repeats to go as fast as they can under each circumstance, set this parameter to 0. This can be very fast, so beware!

 

Note that it is unlikely that this rate will be exactly maintained as it is subject to FS performance variations, depending on the action being repeated, but it acts as a good target control value.The second number gives an initial delay, before repetitions begin. This is in terms of how many potential repetitions to miss, so with 20 repeats per second, 10 would give a delay of half a second. This allows the same button to operate to increment/decrement a value just once, or, by holding the button down, repeat until released.

A value of 0 for the initial delay value means there will be no delay before the repeats start -- this is how FSUIPC has been until the delay facility was added.
