EFIS Baro and QNH knobs not working[SOLVED]

EFIS Baro and QNH knobs not working

the press function does work but rotary function that changes BARO/radio value in MIN and IN/HPA value in Barometer do not change the require value.

I also use MCP, COM, and ATC they work all fine, all other functions work on EFIS except for the rotary function of above mentioned knobs on EFIS

I have the same problem with MINS/BARO

On which page number in the FMC should we change value as described in driver manual?
**************************************
IMPORTANT!!!
To have the MINS/BARO knobs work satisfactorily you need to change the MINS/BARO
function to ROTARY in the FMC / PMDG Options/ Simulation Configuration Menu.

The MINS/BARO rotary function does not work due to a problem related to PMDG 777 SDK.
The text in the documentation regarding ROTARY settings in the FMC is not valid as it is not implemented in the PMDG 777.

It has been reported to PMDG and must be fixed by PMDG.

Updated driver will be sent out to all users when a fix is ready.

Thank you! Based on what @Mladen posted earlier I "wrongly" assumed this was a setting that was already there and spent my time searching every option in the FMC...
Good to know "in this case" it wasn't user error on my part ;)

The MINS and BARO rotaries issue are fixed and work in latest 777 driver and scripts.

Latest version of the OiPMDG777 driver and scripts are v1.3.

Fast stepping of the MINS and BARO are done with activating FPV and a left or right turn of the repective rotary knob. It is deactivated by a rotary knob turn in the opposite direction. See documentaion that comes with the OiPMDG777 driver.
