keys assigned to adjust prop pitch are in steps of 5 - rigamortis - 20.05.2010

I have assigned the + and - key to adjust prop pitch. The problem is that the pitch changes in increments of 5% and I want a 1% increment. I tried using a rotary dial (I have the X52 Pro) but it is too coarse. Is there a way to adjust the step of change on a single key press in the config.ini file? And if so would this also adjust how much a single key press adjusted trim if a key was assigned to trim functions?

Use the slider on the throttle side , it works great with prop pitch

I'll give that a try. Thanks

Ok, I tried the slider. It works but not real good.

Here's the issue, and the issue I see with Saitek rotaries and sliders in general; for a rotary wheel to be used for a trim wheel it needs to be able to adjust in a smooth fine incrementation but they don't (mine doesn't). Same goes for the slider. Sometimes when I push the slider to the upper limit it reads 100%, the next time I try it reads 98%, next tiem is 96%, The slider doesn't function consistently and also doesn't smoothly go from one % to the next. I really only want to use it for 85%~100%, a 15% range of motion. If I could get keys to adjust prop pitch in 1% increments vice 5% I just use those. Same goes for trim. If I could get a single push of a key on the keyboard to equal 1/4 of a degree of trim input I would be happy. I don't have time in combat to be mucking about with sliders trying to get a 95% or 98% prop pitch setting. Or constantly twiddling a rotary because the plane will not trim out due to coarse inputs.
