When you click on the CH Pedals in the Options menu make sure you are displaying the Essential Commands and not the Assigned Commands.  Then you should be able to set rudder and brake axis.  I ran into the same problem during Alpha.

That did it. Thanks!

I've got the full set of CH Pro controls (pedals, fighterstick and throttle) and these are "recognised" but greyed out in the the Controls section with MSFS. I guess they're not supported? I know they're not in the Peripherals Compatability list on the MFS site but the site seems to imply that other unlisted controllers should be usable, just need a bit more setting up. But I can't see any way of assigning anything to these controllers.

Anybody else got these and got them working?

At this point I've no idea how good the sim is - can't fly the **** thing!

I use CH rudder in combination with TM Warthog. It works great

I assigned CH rudder pedals to "yaw axis" and then each toe brake to left/right brake

This might be of help in knowing the key numbers. But yes setting up my CH Eclipse is a bit of a pain lol.

My CH Pro-Pedals dont even show up in the Options menu. I uninstalled them and installed again. They show up correctly in Windows.

Anyway i can get them to show up or redo the setup?

Thanks

I emailed the CH Pro people about this before I got it figured. They were very helpfull and this is the actual reply I got, for any of you still struggling -

I confirmed that our products will need to be mapped first. To do this, please open Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and go to Options and Controls. Choose the “CH Pro Pedals USB” or any other products you have of ours, and click the Filter arrow to find “All”. Once the “All” Filter is chosen, you can assign each axis or button any way you prefer. To do this, you will need to find an assignment in the list of drop down arrows and click on the empty box next to the desired assignment. An input box will open up on your screen, and you can click on “Search by Input” and move the axis or push the button on your product to create the preferred assignment. After the input box is filled in with the chosen axis or button assignment, you can click “Validate” to confirm the change. Once you have assigned all the axes and buttons to your products you can click on “Apply & Save” to confirm all of the changes.

Thanks Andy1252, nice to get it from the horses mouth.

Just as a little help - a small programme called DIview - using it will help you figure out what buttons you are pressing and what number they are assigned and therefore be able to set them up easily.  http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=12   scroll down for the DIview.zip file

Here's how I mapped my CH Yoke:

 

...and pedals:

I also changed the sensitivity of the yoke and pedals to make them easier to use for small movements

Does anyone have the Throttle Quadrant working with the A320?  I have configured the axis, but they only go into reverse thrust regardless of if I have the Axis reversed or not.

Working perfectly for me and others. On the throttle quadrant I have two engines, flaps and spoiler lever assigned to levers for the A320. If your levers are only moving reverse thrust, you have assigned the wrong Sim inputs to the levers. Selecting reverse axis has nothing to do with reverse thrust, simply means that the input is reversed. In other words when lever is full forward. It’s in the closed position.
 

Check that your CH Products lever axis is assigned to the correct throttle axis in the sim for engines 1 and 2.
