X56 HOTAS and tuning sensitivity in FSS

I'm trying to set up my HOTAS X56 for ED3.3

I've found some helpful suggestions and ideas.

I've beeing trying to use the tuning mechanic.

I've got it bound to the twist on my joystick.

But it seems to be either on or off. There's no analogue aspect to it.

I can turn the sensitivity down, but then it takes a stupidly long time to crawl along the tuning bar.

Is this a bug? Something I'm missing?

I also tried binding it to other sticks on the HOTAS that have analogue inputs, but the same thing happened.

Without analogue sensitivity, its either too fast to stop where you need to, or so slow that it makes a mockery of the claim that this is a quick process.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

On my FCS I have it mapped to the paddle axis and it seems to work ok. It is very twitchy though. Can you map it to one of the radio button dials?

I tried (because having it on a dial would seem PERFECT) but the binding requires you to put in a left and a right action. And the dials only generate one binding command no matter which way you turn it. So I couldn't see how that would work.

It does seem short sighted to not think that we might want/be able to use analogue controls for it.

I'm trying to get this all set up so I can test it properly. But so far it's a lot of hassle. Sigh

FD improved the tuning a lot during the beta. It was all digital and very fiddly at the start of the beta, but options were added. It now can be bound to analogue input. It can even be bound directly to the amplitude of the input device. So yes, the rotaries on the throttle base of my X-56 now work perfectly well for the FSS tuner.
.
Oki, matter of fact, the first days I had issues with the rotaries of my X-56, to get them working. I never noticed that they were stuck and turned badly. But that was based on an incident a while ago, which involved my wife, a plush pet being tossed and a bottle of apple juice. Thus during the beta I spent like 30 minutes with paper, cotton buds and dental floss to get my rotaries moving smoothly. But I assume or at least hope that this is not a problem encountered by all X-56 users. :D
