Controller disfunction

[428CJ]

Landed plane and rudder did not work, most of the  buttons on stick did not work either, the only ones that did were the view buttons   Went into map controls, none were as they should have been. I reset and calibrated the stick and rudder pedals.
went into advanced and when I moved the the rudder pedals the green lines moved up and down but the rudder on plane does not move.

I tried moving the rudder pedals and stick to different ports on the computer

I tried my old rudder pedals and stick - no change

I dont understand why the lines move in calibration when i move the pedals but the rudder on plane does not

Please help, I know one of you guys is smart enough to figure this out

 Try re-booting the computer, my pedals stop working on occasion, sometimes all I need to do is turn off that USB port and turn it back on. Other times I have to shut the computer down and do a restart

Check and make sure you dont have the rudder axis mapped to another analog dial/mini stick or such.

Ive tried rebooting  the controllers show ok.   when i go into controls, mapping the pedals will calibrate, in advanced the lines will go up when i move the pedals  but rudder on plane doesnt move

I have been having this problem for almost a week now,  why will it calibrate  but not work on plaen

If you physically move your rudder device, and the lines move on advanced in game, yet the rudder on the plane doesn't move, I think it might be that your Z axis (or whatever it is) is not mapped to rudder yaw for that mode of the plane.

The game can recognize the movement of the rudder device, but if it isn't mapped correctly, it won't move the plane's rudder.

Since the  controller Mode revision by hi tech some years back, it is easy to miss a mode setups.

Corsair keyboards (with or without icue installed) can cause some odd problems with other USB devices. I had trouble with a couple of arduinos that went away when I switched to a different keyboard. I stopped using the arduinos and went back to the K100. Still have an odd problem now and then but not enough to switch the keyboard out.

Usually if a usb controller does not appear or work properly in the windows "Set up USB game controllers" app the device won't work properly in any game. That's not always true though. I got errors in the windows app trying to access the arduinos (sometimes) but they always worked flawlessly in game.

Colourfully backlit? If so, the reason may be as simple as outpowering the USB hub of the motherboard unless you use a powered external USB hub. The problem with motherboard USB hubs is that they don't tell which ports belong to which hub - most likely the adjacent ones share the same resources. But which rear ports are using the same hub with the front ones? The only thing you can be sure of with USB ports is that USB3 ports definitely use different resources to the USB2 ports.

Always use a powered USB hub with a hotas..

Not that it makes sense but there was a time I had to keep windows controllers  window open for the devices to be recognized and function correctly in AH..

It's connected via two cables directly to the MB. I tried many things when I had the arduinos. From what I read it's a common problem with the Corsair and no one knows a solution.

The problem was odd in its inconsistency. Sometimes the Arduinos (used two) would be fine in the set up usb game controllers app but the warthog throttle would error and refuse to open (I use Virpil now). Other times one of the Arduinos would exhibit the same. As I mentioned, even though an error in windows they all worked fine in game.

Different brand keyboard, still RGB, problem disappeared.

Got a StreamDeck and dropped the 3D printed control interfaces. Works great. My seal of approval.

 If I unplug the pedals and plug them back in  most of the time  the rudder on plane works
