Settings Tab/Knobs

dave39

Am using Xplane 11. Have started to work with some knobs. Have had some success with setting CW and CWW bespokes. When I test them in detective they work perfectly. Back in the sim when assigned to a knob they bounce around rather than consistently move from position to position.
I'm guessing one of the settings from the Settings page might help???
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Commands are processed within X-Plane so they always have up-to-date DataRefs to run against. Bespoke Events run outside of X-Plane and access DataRefs via a shared memory area between GIT and the GIT plugin.
So when a task sends an update to a DataRef, the command is processed by the plugin and then the shared memory area is updated. This happens extremely fast but there is a delay non the less.
The Rotate function is also operating extremely fast so many of the task updates on a DataRef are actually just setting the DataRef to the same value because the shared memory area has not yet been updated.
The trick is to add a Sleep task before or after the Set task to give the GIT Plugin chance to update shared memory. You want the Sleep task to use a very small number (its in milliseconds), so try a few values until it works better
