Hi Oliver

I think that you are correct in saying that it is not hardware related.

I have tried replacing my Saitek pedals with my CH ones with the same result.

Tried disabling the Community folder, disabling FSUIPC etc. to no avail.

I don't think that AAO is part of the 'problem' and sorry for getting you involved.

Anyway, I have no idea how to track down the culprit, so I will just have to live with it.

As I previously said 'no big deal'

Thanks again.

I had similar problems. It was always because I had other assignments for the same control surface or lever made in the MSFS Controls window. Like the AAO assignment for throttle or rudder would not work because those controls were already assigned by MSFS itself. Also had similar issue with the brakes.

I made new profiles in MSFS that nothing assigned to axis at all and had them selected as being the profiles in use. Then all AAO assignments I made would work instead of nothing happening.

Also in the later updates to MSFS I sometimes have to close down AAO, then start a flight on the runway, and then boot up AAO in order for my controllers to do anything. Otherwise sometimes for instance the rudder surface won't move in the sim when I press the pedals. This happens even though AAO up on the top info bar is showing the correct plane connected by Simconnect. But there is no connection until I close and then restart AAO and then it works fine.

 

AAO was working. But just now loaded a flight and AAO came up automatically but no throttle input. Closed AAO, rebooted AAO and all was well. By the way when the throttle would not work, the rudder worked fine (it is also controlled by AAO). The cure is just closing AAO and then rebooting it, with no need to apply any templates or anything.

Hmm, this is interesting. I was just about to post a searate thread until I came across this post. I too cannot assign brakes to my MFG pedals via the Assigned Axis panel. I have spent over an hour trying everything, but with no success. I have checked and found no other conflicting assignments in MSFS. There is neither movement on the animated pedals themselves or any movement to the actual aircraft while taxiing. I am a little confused when AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET and AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET is referred to?? What is this referencing? In the assigned axis panel you simply select what axis you want to assign. What am I missing?   EDIT: Just found a workaround by configuring the brakes only in MSFS. Not ideal, for obvious reasons, but it works.

Aircraft controls can happen either through simulator variables (that is the selector box at the top of the dialog) or by sending simulator events (second box from the top). And that second one is where the "AXIS_.._SET" events live. Which one works depends on how the aircraft has been made, it is always one or the other.

Recently a bug has been discovered where AAO 2.21 would read the AXIS_ events as trigger events in some cases. That would also lead to the behavior that you are seeing. This has been fixed in version 2.22, which is currently being tested. Until then, assigning event axis in the sim is the best option. Or sending an email with your proof of purchase to the support address on the last page of the manual with your proof of purchase, then you can have the fixed version 2.22 to try it.

I was having the exact same issue and the most recent version solved it. 

Thanks
