Rudder Pedals

[ODBAL]

Any tips on getting my rudder pedals to work?  My new computer did not come with a port for my old CH Stick and Pedals, so I bought a Saitek X52 pro setup, which I really like other than the twisty stick.  Today I got a usb game port and hooked my rudder pedals up thru that.  The problem seems to be an "either, or" situation and I can't seem to find a way to make them a mix and match setup.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Either or? Never had any problem with that. I mean, you have to have the rudder axis on either the stick or the pedals, but otherwise you can set up the stick and pedals to work together.

All you have to do is go into the axis for the rudder pedals in AH and assign the 'rudder control' to them. It will remove the rudder from the twisty stick control in AH...

In windows, you'll still see the two individual axis work independently of one another.

Lock the twist action on the stick with the sliding lock at the bottom left.

Clipboard>Options>Controls>Map Controllers

Select the X-52 in the drop down menu at the top, then double click the z axis and delete the yaw (rudder) from the z axis function by selecting "none" in the popup.

Select the CH pedals in the top menu and map yaw (rudder) to the slider.

Select OK

Calibrate and fly!

Fantastic, Thanks Rolex! Works like a charm.

By the way, they do make game port to usb converters.  Quite a few players from back in the 90's are still using their old CH gear.

Perhaps a better use of the twisty function would be to program it for rudder trim (if you're into manual trim).

I've been thinking about just buying an old set of gameport pedals with a Gameport-USB converter I already own just to save some $$

Murdr, that is exactly what I bought, and using my old CH gear (pedals at least).  Obviously, not being a "computer" savvy person, I am amazed at how many computer places I went to, and asked if they had something to convert a game port to USB and was told no, there is no such thing.  All's well that end's well I guess.
