I bought the Saitek rudder pedals and im trying to setup the brakes on them..

i put the right toe brake

and the left toe brake...

when i play fs2004, the brakes come on even if i dont push the rudder pedal.

If I press on it. its just weird.. so i take it off from setting and it acts normal.

Any help?

 

Thanks

If you pay for a registration for FSUIPC you will be able to calibrate/assign hardware much better.

I have a load of Saitek periperals including the rudder pedals, so the following might help. I use FSX rather than FS9 now, but i would think the principles are the same

 

Download the most recent driver from the Saitek Website. Make sure that your pedals aren't plugged in. Run the driver software and then plug in the pedals when it tells you. Once the PC has found them you'll get the screen which shows the red bars so you can check they are working. Once you've pressed them all a few times thats it. The driver prompts will tell you when to go 'Next' and 'finish'

 

Once thats done, go to the Settings - Controls options

 

Best to make sure that when you toggle between the Calibration, Buttons/Keys and Control Axes that they are all set to the Pedals before you start, that way you wont go between the pages and end up changing the assignments for anything else... its easily done..

 

Control Axis

Brake (left) - Axis is set to Left Toe. Reverse is CHECKED

Brake (right) - Axis is set to Right Toe. Reverse is CHECKED

Rudder Axis - Axis is set to rudder. Reverse is NOT checked

 

Buttons/Keys

Make sure that every entry is empty. If there are any settings in there which are being picked up from other peripherals, delete the 'Joystick assignment'

 

Calibration

Brake (left) - 75% to 90% Null Zone is 0

Brake (right) - 75% to 90% Null Zone is 0

Rudder Axis - 75% to 90% Null Zone is 0

 

I used to have the ruddar and my yoke on FS9 and looking back at the notes i kept when i set up the periperals in FSX, it looks like they are the same.

 

Hope this helps

When I check mark the reverse, i click ok. I go back to verify that its still checked and its not. I check it again and click somewhere else and it unchecks itself.

Hiya.

 

Could be a number of things affecting the inability to save the controller settings. Depends on your operating system, permissions under security settings and possibly other peripherals installed.

 

I would probably uninstall the pedals first to make sure that your standard.xml is updated without them, then reinstall the driver, plug it in when prompted, set the reverse to checked and then close fsx without flying. That should save an updated standard.xml in the control settings folder.

 

I would also suggest having a look at the saitek forum for other solutions as others have had this problem, in case the uninstall and reinstall doesnt work.

 

I had problems lately with my settings not saving and it wasnt a saitek problem at all but a problem with the standard.xml not saving. Hopefully you wont need to go to those lengths with yours.

 

Hope this helps

 

Screenshots of my rudder settings, have no problems with these.
