Parking Brake Engages When Rudder Pedals Are Moved


spirittoo

Recommended Posts

I have the CH USB Pedals and when ever I use them for the rudder the parking brake engages. I have the steam edition of FSX. Any idea why this is happening?

 

Thanks for reading my post.

Nope ... I said it once I will say it again. I checked the control config several times and there are no conflict between each of the controls. The reverse is checked it the brake assignments.

If it is as you say, no conflicts, then all that is left is misalignment of equipment &/or pilot distraction.

 

The pedals are sensitive. If you do not have the proper angles set up, you can be inadvertently applying pressure slightly higher forward which will engage the brakes.

 

Use heel pressure only....

You know it's crazy ... some times when I release the parking brake the brakes will not come back on when I move the pedals. While other times it will and keep braking when I touch the pedals even after releasing the parking brake ... really weird

Then please listen when we tell you you have duplicate assignments.

 

Reversing the control assignment also means you need to reset the null zone and sensitivity

I guess the only way I can prove to you that there are no assignment conflicts is to figure out how to take a screen shot of it and put it up. I'll see what I can do.

 

I did a print screen and used paint but I have three monitors and I can't figure out how to just show the one screen with the control settings, plus I have to figure out how to reduce the size so I can post it.

Yes do that. Don't bother with a screen shot: Take the contents of standard .xml (the one in your Controls folder) and post it here

 

AND remember to show us the box in the GUI with control sensitivity and null zone applied...

I have the CH Pro Pedals and CH Flight Sim Yoke. The parking brake is assigned to Button 2 on the yoke, not to Axis X and Y on the pedals, which should only operate the left and right differential brakes respectively.

You are going to have to tell me how to do that, because I don't see a control folder in fsx

I when to the fsx folder through stream ... steamapps ... common ... FSX there is a FSXSEConfig in that folder and control.dll but that is it. I did a search for "controls" and got nothing related to FSX. No "controls" folder that I can find.

The folder was not where FSXSE is install. It's on the C drive in my user appdata roaming under microsoft.

 

I tried to put that standard.xml in the attachments but I get an error that it is an invalid file.

Open it with notepad like a .cfg file

You haven't assigned a CH Combatstick button to Parking Brake. Try assigning one and see if the CH Pro Pedals toe brakes stop activating it.

That didn't work ... and as you can see there are no conflicts in the assignments.

There are no conflicts, but commands such Parking Brake which should be there by default are missing.

This problem is a lot simpler to fix than meets the eye - you've set your own control assignments and lost some basic functions. Join the club, we've all done it too! Try resetting the control assignments back to default and start again, but next time leave the brakes assignments as they are.

In the FSX Settings page, click on Controls and then click on the Reset Defaults button on the Calibration, Buttons/Keys and Control Axes tabs. Easy.
