Anybody found creative use for CH toe brakes?
« on: August 16, 2000, 09:11:00 AM »
 I tried mapped the buttons 15 and 16 of the controller to axis X and Y on my CH USB pedals.
 Now I can assign the commands to the buttons 15 and 16.
 First, I tried mapping lower/raise flaps to those buttons and found that they only worked all the way - full flaps or no flaps, no increments.

 Anyone came up with a better use for those pedals' axis?

Sounds cool to me. Have you had anyluck getting them to act as "toe breaks" like that? I have been waiting for the new release of drivers by CH to give me that functionality with the USB Pedals.    errr hardware/software forum?

 I am pretty sure they would act great as "toe brakes" as intended by designers if mapped to LEFT WHEEL BRAKE and RIGHT WHEEL BRAKE but those are only used for taxiing.
 I would prefer some more common functions, like moving my head right-left or something.

 It should be some function that would kill you if activated accidentally.

Well, for the normal CH Pro Pedels, the toe brakes A) are great for gas/brake in driving games  

B) two spare, hardly ever used pots that can make an easy replacement for worn out stick pots.

Fighter Duel is the only game to my knowledge to ever use the toe brakes, and even then it was buggy. I mean, 5 Axis coming thought one line and all.

Like mentioned above i use the toe break gor individual wheel breaks. Only problem is that the key activates on slightest input, and not  about halfway or even better - fluidly (more press, more break)

The fact that it activates so easily discourage me from using it for controls that can be used inflight (flaps for instance)
