brakes?
« on: December 21, 2016, 01:48:35 PM »
when I use the toe brakes on my rudder pedals I stop quickly and see a nose dip. If I use the keyboard nothing happens. Does the rudder pedal function cancel out the keyboard function?

whoops wrong forum

Pretty sure putting any control that can use it on an axis cancels out the button for the same function.  Among others like brakes, things like zoom, rudder, etc.

It should not cancel out the keypad. The difference is that with toe brakes you can adjust how much braking you want or need. You can also use braking to offset drag from damage making you go off the runway.

Make sure you have the analog brake functions mapped, and not the on/off function like what is default for the keyboard.

Pretty sure assigned analog inputs live happily with assigned digital inputs, as long as they are not mapped to the same device at the same time.

If that's true, why would it matter if it was on the same device?
Either you move an analog input, or pressing a digital button.  Do them both at the same time you may have issues, regardless of which
device they're mapped to.

strange, I can use keyboard or joystick to adjust rpm but brakes only work with one or the other.

Yes, if you have toe brakes assigned to your rudder pedals it will over-ride the keybinding for wheel brakes.

Flatiron, the Rudder Toe brakes should be an analog setting, so you can adjust the dead band and damping to keep the nose over from being so abrupt. You can also adjust the scaling to help even more. :rock

Interesting.  I'm pretty sure putting zoom on an axis overrides the zoom buttons, which is what I was thinking of at the time.

ok what I want to do is be able to use my rudder pedals for left/right braking and also have a function where I can apply both brakes equally at the same time. there is a button setting for the controls that says flight wheel brakes  but does not seem to work.

Are you mapping analog control, like for your ailerons rudder and throttle, or the button function like for views and fire button?

My right toe brake wire broke, so I use my left toe brake to apply brakes to both right and left wheels. Works fine for my setup, but I really miss differential braking for getting onto the rearm pad.

Edit:
After reading again, it sounds like you're using the pedals for brakes instead of for rudder, and don't have actual toe brake movement? What kind of pedals do you have?

I just want to be able to have a function that will work both brakes simultaneously like yo would be able to do if using keyboard onlyit

Flat,

  Set the toe brakes to work as a push button,IIRC there is a analog setting to do that,dont have access to my game machine to verify. Basically set the toe brakes to "C" and "V" then you should be able to set a button for brakes and have what you want.

  I use a hatswitch for differential brakes and a button to brake since my pedal toe brakes quit.

  You cant have analog toe brakes and a brake button/switch/lever unless you map the analog as a button press.
