June 5, 200917 yr Have been using CH Pro pedals for the past six years or so mostly with only minimal hassles. But after my latest reinstall of FS2004 and reinstall of the pedals (& yoke) plus axis assignment and calibration (using FSUIPC) the differential brakes indicator is always on and the brakes do not release. I have tried all the suggestions I can find on the web (of which there are many - this does seem to be a common problem with these pedals) but none work. The only solution has been to completely disable the toe brake feature of the pedals and assign brakes to a button on the yoke. I suppose what is going through my mind is that there may be a hardware problem with the pedals but I would be grateful for any other suggestions.Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."

Mine are not always on, but everytime a fly lands on the pedals, my DIFF BRAKE shows up. Pushing the toe brake a bit further and the message is gone. Have tried setting the thing up again and again and again in FSUIPC, but to no avail. Eric [FSX on Windows7 64-bit]

Then remember that having checked that box the sensitivity sliders work OPPOSITE to their previous functionality.

June 7, 200916 yr Author Thanks guys I think I have it kinda sorted - see post on the Hardware forum.Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."

June 8, 200916 yr No luck for me though. The axis are set correctly.Let me tell you what happens: I calibrate my pedals. I enter FS9, start up my plane (in this case the MD-11, but that shouldn't matter). When I slightply touch the pedals (toe wise that is) I get the message "Differential brake". when i press further down the message disappears until I'm at about 60% of the toe brake range. Then I get the massage again way down till I reacht the bottom of the axis.So..the axis is doing what it should do, besides the issue that the DIFF BRAKE seems to be activated too soon in a range not set up by me. Also trying to fix the range with FSUIPC doesn't help. Eric [FSX on Windows7 64-bit]
June 8, 200916 yr Hi,The only way I fixed this was to DELETE the calibration in Windows (pressing the Defaults button, as I remember?) and not touching the calibration again.Hope this helps, Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page
June 8, 200916 yr Hi,The only way I fixed this was to DELETE the calibration in Windows (pressing the Defaults button, as I remember?) and not touching the calibration again.Hope this helps,Easy way to fix this, install the CH manager software. YOU DO NOT need to use it to configure anything, just have it installed. Then calibrate from there. I had this problem before with my own pedals and Mike from CH told me this little "trick." Now when the brake shows, I just tap it and it's gone.

June 9, 200916 yr Thanks you guys! Will try this evening and will let you know. Eric [FSX on Windows7 64-bit]
