Controller disfunction

[428CJ]

Rudder pedals not working, went into control mapping, they move the lines up and down on the advanced section but dont move the rudder on plane.
Some buttons on stick also lost their functions and had to be re mapped.

Ive tried my old rudder pedals and stick - same problem,  calibration shows pedals working but rudder on plane doesnt move

Tried moving pedals and stick to different ports on computer

HELP  need one of you guys smarter than me to figure it out - till then its Gv or dont play

Make sure the rudder pedals are selected for planes and are appropriately mapped for rudders. I can’t remember the extra area without being in game but in the settings you can choose between 4? different modes when key binding your stuff

That can be found in map controllers.

1) what 1ijac said
2) Did everything work at one time?
3) Are the buttons and pedals programmed/assigned in AH to each function?
4) Is auto select mode enabled?

There are times when AH will forget stick profile. Which. Means it would have to be reprogrammed.

Once you get everything up and running, back up the Settings folder. Go to where the game is installed and copy the Settings folder and paste it to another location fir safe keeping. When you run into another problem copy your back up of setting folder and copy it back AH install location to overnight existing Setting folder. This will replace the settings you had prior back to AH, saving much time.

Also check the cables, and usb hub if you are using one. I had a powered usb hub fail, and had issues similar to yours, except it was with my stick.

Understand you have already tried different ports directly on the PC (not hubs). Some have had issues with RGB lighting cause odd problems. If you have any disconnect them.

This ^^^

Always check cables first to eliminate a very common problem.
Many times a cable going bad will happen within 3-4 inches of the connector.
The USB port can become warn or disfigured internally. They are a weak link.
You can check your USB port with a phone if you have the right USB to Phone cable. If it shows connected to power good chance the port is ok.

The rudder pedals are part of the problem,  stick lost mapping of several of the buttons,  cant get the pedals  to hold mapping if i get out of the game and even when it shows that the pedals are programed the rudder on plane wont work.

Rudder pedals are CH products  the stick is CH fighter stick

Assuming you mean different ports on the motherboard. Try swapping through all the ports. There is more than one USB controller on the motherboard.

[AKIron]

If the motherboard has any USB 2 ports try those. They are usually identified by having white offsets. I had an issue several years ago where a USB 2 device worked in a USB 3 port but had intermittent issues. In a USB 2 port the problem disappeared.

If you have the MB manual you can look up which ports are what version. If you don't have the manual you can get the MB model number by looking at it or with software. Then find the manual online.
