Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
I am in the process of updating some of my profiles and I'm having trouble with my rudder pedals. The rudder function itself is working well, once I inverted the axis, but the brakes are giving me fits. When I push on the upper portion I get a message in the lower left corner of Differential Brakes. The same thing happens on the left. The problem is that once I touch one of the brakes and release it the brakes stay on. The message says brakes. If I hold both of the brakes down, the message goes away and the plane will move. If I release the brakes, the brake message comes on and the plane stops. I've tried everything I can think of but I don't get any different results. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
Thank you...
Thank you...

Re: Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
First off check that you have no brake setting configured in the SIM.
For the default C172 in FSX, I have Left & Right toe brake setting as:
Max Brake = 127
No Brake = 0
Invert axis = off

Re: Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
I have had a similar issue in the past when an old profile was loaded -- basically flying a plane I had not flown in a long time and that profile was not loaded since an update.
I just deleted the assignments and then re-added them and all worked like they should. I had the identical symptoms.

Re: Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
Same thing has happened to me in the past. I just took the easy way out and selected invert axis and they worked.
I have also had an issue where the brakes didn't appear to release when i took my feet off but all i needed to do was to release them, apply them and release again and they worked fine.

Re: Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
I checked for anything controlling the brakes in FSX and the only thing I found was the period to release them. I have even unchecked the box to Enable Controllers and that didn't fix it. I do have FSUIPC running and am wondering if there is some kind of conflict going on. The confusing part is that everything was working until I started to configure the pedals. I must have messed something up. I did invert the axis for the rudder pedals but that only corrected the direction of the steering.

Re: Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
Just start FSX without starting FSUIPC and if all work then you will need to check FSUIPC for any setting and delete them.

Re: Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
You state that you reversed the axis for the rudder pedals. But you are have troubles with the brake pedals. Check for them and reverse the axis on the brake pedals, one for each side, left brake and right brake.

Re: Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
I had to invert brake axis also.
As you release the brakes they are being fully braked and not released.

How do I start FSX without starting FSUIPC? I don't even know how to tell for sure if its working when I have FSX running.Oz Flyer wrote:Just start FSX without starting FSUIPC and if all work then you will need to check FSUIPC for any setting and delete them.

Re: Saitek Rudder Pedal Brakes
You will find it under "Modules"
..../FSX/Modules
I no longer use FSUIPC for aircraft controls but when I did and wanted to stop it running all I did was rename the "modules" folder.
