How to set potentiometers?

[Wolf8312]

Does anyone know how to get potentiometers to work properly with BOS? I mean so for example if I set them to flaps, and wanted to turn from 0 to 100 percent as the situation dictated. Anyone know if it's possible to do this? Cant seem to get it to work...

For flaps is not possible use potentiometer  - game controls don't allow use analog axis (pot' , magnetic sensors) for this control, only keys or joy buttons. Similar to trims - only for "Stabilizer Adjust" (Bf 109, Mc 202, Ju-52) is possible use an  analog axis (pot'...), for "pitch, roll, aileron trim" is not possible, only keys/buttons/HAT's.

 

You can use 'encoder', that is physically similar to an pot' - an "rotarie", that instead move an analog axis, press sequentially a button when turned clockwise and other button counterclockwise.

For use encoder your USB game controller need firmware with support for encoder.

I use Encoders and they work well enough for planes using Trim tabs. But they respond to slow for planes with Stabilizer,like the  109 and the MC 202. For those Planes I rather use buttons for now. I'm using Leo Bodnar boards where my Encoders are connected,maybe other Controler boards work better in this case.

Well its no big deal as long as I know!
