PIPER PA-24 A2A AND HONEYCOMB BRAVO PROBLEMS

[Ferota]

Hello again, John.
After more than a year without any problems with your wonderful FSUIPC, something similar to what we were discussing in other conversation about MILVIZ Cessna 310 has happened to me again, now with the A2A PA-24 Comanche.
Until a couple of weeks ago, everything was working perfectly, all the buttons and knobs on the Honeycomb Bravo, but suddenly, the knob to increase or decrease altitude, heading, speed, etc., the one on the right, stopped working, but only on this aircraft (it works perfectly on the PMDG 737).
I've tried to solve the problem by modifying the FSUIPC.ini with the help you gave me last time, but I can't fix it.
Could you help me?
I'm attaching the FSUIPC.ini, as you asked me the other time.
Thank you very much in advance.

If a particular button isn't working, please set logging for Buttons & Keys and show me / attach a log file showing the button press not working, as well as your FSUIPC7.ini file.

What doesn't work for me, and what used to work, isn't a button, but the wheel you use to change the heading, for example, or the course or altitude. I'm attaching a photo and the files you requested.

And it doesn't work for me with the A2A PA-24 Comanche. However, it works fine with the 737 PMDG.

From your log file, it looks like the Rotaries.lua is not starting as it can no longer be found:

As that script is not running, it will not be converting the button presses to the virtual ones needed to trigger the assignments. Check that that file exists/put it back.

But turning that 'wheel' just triggers a different button press in each direction, which is why it is assigned under FSUIPC's button assignment dialog box. All joysticks are just a collection of buttons and axes as far as FSUIPC is concerned.

That is strange - I am surprised its working there if the lua script is not running....

Also I am not sure why you have these profile-specific button assignments for the A2A Comanche when they are exactly the same as the general assignments:

You can just remove them and use the (same) general assignments for those buttons.
