Hi everyone Ok .... I have connected a set of Simped pedals to my system using FSX and I am having a hell of a job configuring the toe brakes ... What's happening is the brakes stay on when I have applied them and then let my feet off the pedals If I press the period key on the keyboard this will allow the brakes to come off but as soon as I touch the pedals again they are on permenantly . Now I have tried the little trick . with raising the sensitivity slider and making sure the Null Zone is far left ... I have also tried reversing the toe brakes in the control axis section but still no joy ... I then thought let's try doing this through FSUIPC ..... but once again the brakes are staying on once I depress and release them .... Oh yes I did read on a post which could be the answer is that when a USB HID device is added that the firmware tells Windows 7 64 Bit that the axis should be treated as 'slider' type and NOT an 'axis' type With a slider type Windows uses one of the axis extremes as it's home position to calibrate off of. With axis type Windows uses the centre of the axis as it's home position Anyway .. I hope someone has a few ideas on the way forward Thanks in advance Paul

Since you're using FSUIPC (as you should!) try viewing the toe brake axis value as they are received and processed by FSUIPC in the axis calibration tab. Cheers, - jahman.

Hi Jahman I have ...... but what should I be looking for .... when I depress the toe brakes I get numerical values ... but it doesn't make any difference

Interesting. I have just recently got hold of the Saitek combat pedals and am having exactly the same problem. I am also running FSUIPC...

Hi Jahman I have ...... but what should I be looking for .... when I depress the toe brakes I get numerical values ... but it doesn't make any difference

Look for values that change progressively as you depress each toe brake (as opposed to values that only stay at each extreme of the range. Cheers, - jahman.

Hi Howard With yours being the saitek pedals ... even though they do look almost identical to mine it might be a case of increasing the sensitivity slider to max .... and zero on nullzone valueHi Jahman Yes the values do change as i depress them I am wondering if there is a way of fine tuning the values so that the brakes stay off when I take my feet off the pedals

In FSUIPC you can try setting a null-zone and selecting appropriate sensitivty curves ("Joystick Calibration" tab, "Slope" button.). Cheers,-jahman.

You need to reverse the input, you'll find if you fully depress the toe brakes they go off but as soon as you lift your foot off them they come back on. The input needs reversing which is easy to do in FSUIPC but I'm not sure about setting it directly in FSX if you don't have FSUIPC. Cheers Martin

Hellojahman have you ever set up toe brakes in Fsuipc ?

Hi everyone Ok .... I have connected a set of Simped pedals to my system using FSX and I am having a hell of a job configuring the toe brakes ...

Here is what you need to do: Press the pedals fully forward and press MAXRaise the pedals (but not fully) maybe half the travel and press MIN.Leave Fsuipc and test the pedals, if they are not correct you may need to go into Fsuipc's Brakes dialog and tick the reverse box. The key here is not to use the full range off the axis, you do not want to be triggering the toe brake range when you are normally using the rudder axis.

Yes, I have all my hardware set-up via FSUIPC for years. Cheers, - jahman.

I have this too. Answer for me was as above... check the reverse box.

Paul!Having the vey same problem (but with CH Pro PedalsI) I wonder if you ever got a solution to your problem. And if you did I would like to hear about it!Best RgardsLars
