Differential Brakes

Featured Replies

Hi all again,

 

Had a few months away playing other stuff but this year is my FS year I hope :)

 

Quick question on using FSUIPC please...

 

I am using Saitek Yoke/pedals and some panels. In FSUIPC I set the left pedal toe press as left brake and the same for right pedal as right brake. What seems to be happening is that this is then like a brake release, ie. when my feet are off the pedals I get a differential brake message that goes away when I put toe pressure on the pedals. This seems to be reversed to what I would expect...

 

Ideas please?

 

Cheers...

You should be able to reverse the axis in the FSUIPC axis section. See if that helps.

I think I need some serious help...Exactly what is differential brakes?

 

Unless something is screwed with FSUIPC, I have NO idea what's going on. Even using the . key does not always turn off the brakes.

 

I am guessing I am missing something very simple but alas....

 

Please help...

Hi,

 

Differential braking simply means that one brake is being applied and not the other.  In FSUIPC, make sure both Reverse blocks are or are not checked.  On my system I have to set both to reversed.
