Flight Brake Pedal problem

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Now that GFWL is alive once more I've re-installed Flight. Everything seems to be working well with one exception: the rudder pedal brakes. When I last installed Flight I didn't have pedals. I have CH Pro pedals and believe they are properly calibrated. I have no problems with them in FSX and I realize that in the Windows calibration it's necessary to hold both pedals half way down when it says to leave the handle centered and press a button.

When I attempt to brake nothing happens until the pedals are approximately half way down and then it seems I have full braking. As I recall I had to invert the axis also. Here are the values displayed in the Flight Standard.xml:

As there's no calibration procedure within Flight it seems that manual editing would be the only likely fix. It seems likely that someone has solved this before so before going on I'm requesting help.

No. I 'read' (between the lines) that you are trying to set your toe brakes (pedals) and it (quote) clearly says 'not supported' so you would have to write a program (java, xml) to accomplish this, but Flight might not support those either. In your pic it shows you are trying to change the brake or pedal axis(s)). Are you using the CH profile? Or is Flight 'seeing' your pedals? Even so you just might be stuck with no pedal toe brakes. I am just using common sense. And looked, but did not find, an answer on Google or elsewhere. So you will be plugging/unpluggin pedals and trying other changes to no avail (and oh, don't re-install FSX (ha)). I will be watching this thread to see if I am wrong. Where is Zippy?

Hey Chuck,

Where did you read "clearly says 'not supported' ? It sounds like whatever other info is there might be of value. I spent a lot of time searching posts and wasn't able to find what I expected to be a solution to a common problem. And I can't figure out what lines you're reading between. The picture I posted was of the Flight Standard.xml as displayed by Windows XML Notepad 2007 and I just chose the appropriate section using the Windows Snipping tool.

The brakes seem to be working just fine after I copied the equivalent values from the FSX Standard.xml. The only odd thing is that the "AxNull" entry is missing after I checked the operation of the brakes and then rechecked the Standard.xml.

I guess it's obvious now that "Flight" has no problem recognizing the pedals and I'm not using any CH profile (I can guess but I'm not sure what that is).

To sum up; manually editing of the Flight Standard.xml seems to fix the problem although a little tweaking of the values might be desirable.

Hi Double J,

My pedals seem to be working okay. I still haven't done any fine tuning though. When I copied the values from my FSX Standard.xml (-64 and 15 for each axis) only the AxScale value was there after flying and rechecking; the AxNull entry was gone. If you get a chance could you post what values you have?
