freddy Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 In another thread ("CH Pedals" http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=17406.0), I see a number of people mentioning rudder pedals and toe brakes that "remain on" or come on when the pedals are touched. I posted the following in that thread, but decided it may be a bit more visible and be of benefit to others if it had a thread of its own. This method works for me with CH pedals, but I understand that it works with other pedals as well. How to set differential braking with rudder pedals: This solution is thanks to Bob Chruch from CH Products via the CH forums. Open the Flight Sim Sensitivity and Null Zone dialog and set the Null Zone sliders fully to the left. Set the Sensitivity sliders fully to the right. Now go into the Control Assignments dialog and check the toe brakes making sure the "Reversed" boxes are checked on the axis assignments. With this fix you may have a lot of deadzone at the top of the pedal travel but can go into the Sensitivity and Null Zone dialogs again and move the sliders to the right until you like the way it feels. A point to note. In the "CH Pedals" thread the discussion was obviously about CH Pedals. It was suggested in that thread by jblb2009 that the CH pedals should be calibrated through CH's own Control Manager software because calibrating them through Flight Simulator alone will not fix the issue of brakes coming on when you have released the pedals. Having CH pedals, I am indeed using the CH Control Manager Software. jblb2009 may be correct. Because I do use the CH Control Manager software, I have no way of confirming.

John Bosch Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I found similar with the Saitek pedals. You need to reverse both axis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Interesting. I don't use the CH software (I hate extra processes). I will have to try this and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 You don't have to use the software for either BUT it makes manageing them esier and as for extra processes, it makes NO difference. Saitek peddles need to be reversed on their axis and the sensativity turned up to about 50 % and the dead zone set at around 5-10% . Brakes will remain OFF unless deployed.

slandreth Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have this problem and will try it tonight. That is if my boys will let me have the computer for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty073 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 thanks maurice your little post helped me get rid of the brakes always showing in left hand corner by reducing the null zone down. Only put up with it for over a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
