Brakes on Thrustmaster pedals

Featured Replies

Hi...

I bought the Thrustmaster pedals, however I've been having some difficulty with the toe brakes. At the moment, the toe brakes default to the x and y axis. How do I change that so they will apply brakes?

Many thanks,

 

Ben

Hi Ben,

Back to basics - apologies if these questions appear stupid!

Which Thrustmaster pedals are you using? TFRP or TPR

What simulator are you using?

I have the TFRP pedals. There's a switch on the TRJ12 USB adapter which enables you to select car (accelerate & brake) or plane (left brake Y, right brake X and slide for rudder Z axes). The LED is on and green when plane is selected..

EDIT - because my joystick is a seperate controller, (T-FLIGHT HOTAS X), FSX lists it as a separate entry in the controller drop-down menu and even though it too uses x and y axes the stick doesn't interact with the pedals.

I use FSX:SE and I configured the pedals within the axes tab of the control menu. The pedals came up as T Rudder. I selected left toe brake and then pressed the left pedal.. etc. .etc.

Hope this helps. If not then answering the first two questions will enable us to proceed further 😎

Thanks for your reply. I have the TFRP and using P3D v5.

The switch on the adaptor is in the correct place and I'm getting the right rudder command, it's just the toe brakes move the ailerons right and left. I think the toe brakes are associated with the same axis that the ailerons are on. I can't find where to assign a new axis to the brakes.

Thanks

Hmm.. I don't have P3D V5 perhaps someone who does can chime in with a solution. Have you tried going back into the control menus and freshly assigning the joystick left/right to the ailerons?

In FSX - the ailerons are on the X axis, yet the sim appears to know which control input device I'm using thus the pedals don't interfere with the ailerons.

Another thought: You don't have autorudder ticked in the menus do you?
