Saitek Pedals- Set Up single Brake Axis?

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone,

I've been using my Saitek pedals for a while now, but I'm still annoyed with the sensitivity of the toe brakes.  I've played with different settings regarding sensitivity, and I've smoothed them out a little bit in FSUIPC.  However, they're still far-too sensitive. Is there a way to set the left and right axes for brakes instead of toe or differential brakes?  Of course, I'd be happy to keep things as they are if I can find a way to make the left and right brakes less sensitive and over-powering as well. 

Thanks for your help,

John

Are these the pro-flight or the Cessna pedals? Some have had good luck with putting a riser under the front of the pro-flight pedals to change the angle. The toe brakes feel less sensitive when you don't have to bend your feet at an awkward angle to hit them.

The solution I use to tame the overly sensitive toe brakes on my Combat Pedals is to create a curve within FSUIPC.  Each of my aircraft has its own curve... generally, flat at the beginning of toe brake movement, and getting steeper (more "sensitive") as I continue to push the brake pedal forward.

Thanks for that Greg, that helps a little.  Meanwhile, I'm also getting in the habit of using autobrakes and not over-controlling in order to avoid inadvertently slamming on the brakes but it's taking some work to get the right technique down that I was trying to avoid:-)  So much for the lazy-pilots easy way out, but I'm learnin' something.
