I have a problem in FSX with CH rudder pedals. I mostly see brakes or differential brakes written in lower left corner without depressing the toebrakes. It can be enough if I only nudge the pedals for toebreak depression to be detected.I tried calibrating in CH control manager and found out that the toebrakes do indeed detect forward press as it should but also that it can react like fully depressed toebrakes by simply nudging the pedal or pressing it slightly backwards.Is this normal? Anyone recognise that? In FS9 I could see in FSUIPCS calibration that the value goes negative if I press the pedal slightly backwards. It seem I can solve the problem in FS9 by calibrating in FSUIPC but for FSX I don't havea registered FSUIPC. Will I need to register FSUIPC in FSX to solve this? BTW is a registered FSUIPC for FSX identical to the one in FS9?

Do the brakes come off when you push the brakes fully forward?If I remember correctly, the brake assignments need to be set to reverse in FSX. There is a tick for that next to their assignments. There is no need for FSUIPC (although it allows for greater flexibility).

Answer NO. At any rate I purchased a registered FSUIPC since I discovered that I could get it significantly discounted because I bought WideFs 6 a while ago. So I resolved the issue by calibrating in FSUIPC.Fully depressed goes to about 8000. Not applied to about zero which I set as one calibration point. Slightly backwards was about -8000. So when I don't touch the toebrakes the output was about middle in the total range.In light of that the problem made sense. I don't see how I could have resolved this without the registered FSUIPC.

I have the same problem with the brake diff lit on, it appears to be an FSX problem, I recall others having the same problem. I came across a blurb saying if calibrating does not cure it, you should just live with the light on, I think it was On the Microsoft support site. The problem with that is sometimes it activates that brake while taxing, it seems to be my left pedal where it happens, I have calibrated and adjusted the pedal settings and still get the light. If it stays on in flight I activate the parking brake key and then it stays out in flight. If I put slight pressure on the left pedal it will go out, and then keep my feet off the pedals and just use toe pressure against the bottom of the pedals to steer. Annoying!

Hi jfri,If you're using the Control Manager but not running a map, and the pedals have ever been calibrated in Windows, you need to clear the Windows calibration data. If you're using a 64-bit version of the OS, you can hit calibrate in FS and it will bring up the Windows applet, they give you and option early on to clear the data. Take it, then get out and don't try to calibrate there again.For 32-but, probably the easiest thing to do is to drop by the Logitech WingmanTeam site:http://www.wingmanteam.comand pick up a copy of the ClrCalib.exe utility. It completely clear the Windows data for all devices so you'll need to recalibrate any non-CH devices, but the CH calibration data is held privately. You should never calibrate the CH stuff through the Windows applet. It makes it sets some flags and things and makes it impossible for the CM to work correctly. Run the CM GUI and calibrate them there instead. Also check the Sensitivity and Deadzones screen in FS for the CH devices and make sure the Null Zone sliders are fully left and the Sensitivity sliders are fully right. That give the maximum deadzone. Seems backward, but I think it's because the brakes are "reversed" in FS.Anyway, give it a try. It should fix you up.Best regards,- BobThe StickWorkshttp://www.stickworks.com

I am not using the CH manager and have set the sens to zero and the null full right but have the same problem with inadvertant diff brake coming on during landing causing the airplane to suddenly veer off to the left. Is there a way to disable diff brakes altogether while keeping rudder controll. I could live without diff brakes OK.

Thanks Bob, reversing the NULL and SENS setting, though strange seems to be working, I can now use the rudder pedals and the Diff Brake Light does not come on unless I use Toe Brakes, If I use the brakes, when I release them the diff light goes out. Go figure.
