Strange malfunction ......
« on: June 13, 2004, 03:37:04 PM »
I have a strange problem.  

When I swithced to CH Pro USB pedals I found I can no longer take off in a Goon (C-47).  It just rolls down the runway like it's in mud and never gains enough speed to fly.

All the other planes take-off, fly and land perfectly well with the pedals.  It's just the C-47 that won't take off.

I re-calibrated my pedals in Windows and AH but to no avail.  What to do?

Thanks for your help.

On all planes except C-47 (and I just learned "buffs" too) it stops the plane.  On buffs and goons nothing happens.

If I disable the toe brakes everything works fine.  I guess I will disable this feature on my $100 pedals.

did you calibrate the toe break portion of the pedals when you calibrated the pedals? they are their own axis

I don't use them myself, I have the brake on the x45 throttle

Try giving the pedals some more deadband. I had same problem with my ch pedals. Also when ever I first log on my first flight I must depress and let go of brakes. Its like a parking brake has been applied.

I finally got it fixed.  I had the wrong Axis chosen. When I matched the setup my squaddie (Mustafa) had it worked great.

I had this same issue with my CH Pro Pedals and the technicians told me to place a cd jewels case underneath the pedals when calibrating the pedals toe brakes.  I had noticed one pedal constantly had some input to it and I had to press down on my heel to get it to go away.  So by following what the techs said it worked out great.  So if you have this issue try that and see if it fixes it.   Hope this helps...
