Rotary Encoders - Microsoft flight simulator - MSFS Heading, Speed, Altitude Control

[Gatsidakos]

Issue Description

Hello there,

I'm relatively new to this one but capable enough to understand and implement.

I purchased an Arduino Pro Micro and created a small panel to control my autopilot in MSFS. I have eleven keys and 4 Rotary Encoders (20 Pulses per full Rotation) on my panel.

My MSFS recognizes all the keys as an external mechanical keyboard but the only issue that I'm facing is with the Rotary Encoders Response. For example, When I'm trying to change the heading to 1 Degree right, I have to turn the Rotary Encoder multiple turns (Sometimes 40-60 turns for 1 degree).

Not sure if you have similar issues resolved. I will attach below my keymap and config:
