Inverting rudder?

[LLv34_Snefens]

Bought a USB CH Pro Pedals a week ago and was looking forward to this new patch that enables me to use them with my USB stick.
Due to the note in the readme file I got them working right away and they responded just fine in the joystick setup.

After going to the runway I started engine and began rolling. It took some concentration to use them, but I got airborne and started doing some yaws. Thas when I noticed why they felt awkward. When I press my right foot forward the plane yaws right, unlike what my intuition tells me it should do.

Intuition, well, I don't even know how it is in real planes, but i know that the way I have it now it feels wrong - for me.

I firsted looked in windows control but found nothing there. Then I looked in AH setup but found nothing there either.

Is there a way I can inverse the movement so it will be: right foot forward -> plane yaws left and vice versa.

Hmm, this post became unnecessary long

LLv34,

Hehe, don't know if you can invert the function of the rudder pedals, but they are working correctly.  When you press the right rudder pedal the nose of the airplane is supposed to yaw to the right.  Give it a week or so and it will become second nature.

Yes but it involves opening up your CH pedals
and in the potentiometer inside there are two wires going to one two of three leads. You take the outside lead and move it to the opposite and empty outside lead. You leave the middle lead where it is.
 Be carefull opening up the pedals. It can be a squeak to get the pedla bearings back in.
 I have the same problem. Push right foot to go left. It's unnatural to do it the other way for me due to years of biking, skating, sledding and even go-karting as a kid.
 A right foot push always brough you to the left.

Hmm, thx for the replies.

Not sure I dare opening the pedals and start swapping wires. Not excactly the most competent person on that matter    . Only something i used to do with my old joysticks to see if I could get an extra month or two out of them.

Not very keen on having to learn the 'correct' way either. It feels just as awkward as in PE without inverted Y-axis mouse.

How about it HTC. Any chance of implementing an "inverse rudder" option in the setup for us feet coordination challenged people  ?

 Well the wires are plug on types. No solderin required. You just have to go slow as you open them up so you see how things inside are laid out.
 You could send them to CH to do.

 the only flight sim I've ever run across where the in game joystick/pedla/throttle calibration utility would let you reverse the rudder action was AW3. But since I flew other simsI opened my pedals up and moved the wire
to make it easy on myself. CH told me how to do it btw via email.
