(Copy of post placed on FS2004 forum before I discovered this forum - apologies for double posts)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

Have you tried reversing the axes? If not, that's likely your problem. I always need to set them to reversed in the joystick options.Allard.

Hi Bruce,I have had the same problem for all the years I have owned the CH Pro Pedals...until last month. I tried the CH driver from their website and IT WORKS! I had tried the CH drivers in the past to no avail. But the current one works for me. BTW I am running Vista 64.Hope that helps,Bill

Yes I had tried reversing the axes and this didn't work. However I have subsequently realized that my problems were due to conflicts between fsuipc axis settings and the default FS9 axis assignment process. Peter Dowson's fsuipc utility is very powerful but I must say the users guide is a very dense document and takes some effort to get to the gist of what he is on about. It seems my first efforts at using fsuipc for axis assignment and calibration only produced confusion. After more careful reading I found that I could get the brakes to work properly if I set the joystick to disabled in FS9 and set up all my axes and buttons in fsuipc (with the brakes axis reversed). This would have been fine except that I couldn't get the CH yoke hat panning function to work smoothly using fsuipc. So I tried another tack. I deleted the fsuipc ini file and went back to setting up my axes and buttons in fs9 and this time things mostly worked - the exception being that I couldn't get the mixture axis to work through the FS9 axis assignment process - I had to go into fsuipc to get this set up properly (after deleting mixture axis assignments in FS9).Bruceb
