Controller disfunction

[428CJ]

 The brakes are on the keyboard,  c  and v      brakes have never been on stick or pedals.

 I cant understand this at all

computer glitches could add them to a controller, its worth a look.

Let's work through this logically by starting with what the game is seeing. In-game open your clipboard and select Options -> Controls -> Map Controllers. Now look at all your primary controls first: Roll / Ailerons, Pitch / elevators, Yaw / rudder and throttle. In each case check the Advanced tickbox then move that controller fully through its axis. Look at the Raw and Scaled slider boxes, the ones with the green lines which move. With scaling turned off do the motions of the Raw roughly match those of the Scaled? Not only the magnitude of movement but do they move smoothly or suddenly jerk, or twitch while your controls are still? Or perhaps only move partially through the full range?

Don't fiddle with anything else until you've checked this and told us.

 With scaling off (I dont use it) the rudder green lines move up and down together smoothly. They do that even when the rudder on plane does Not move.

 If the rudder does not work when i get in game (90% of the time) then I have to unplug rudder pedals from  usb port and plug back in then it works most of the time.

You might have two problems one masking the other and announcing as a rudder pedal issue. Did you check all the primary axis? Any one of those can knock your autopilot off. Also can you clarify

They do that even when the rudder on plane does Not move.

I think you should see the graphical rudder move if it's mapped correctly with autopilot / takeoff off.

Usually a controller needed to be unplugged constantly would suggest a powered hub. Sensible addition for AH.

It isn't easy to help someone with controllers by typing periodical text. Of course we're assuming you've calibrated them in Windows first and then in game as well?

 When i go into calibrate, advanced, both green lines move together smoothly when i move the rudder pedals - but the rudder on plane does Not move.  If I uplug pedals from usb port or turn it off then turn it back on or plug it back in most of the time the rudder on plane works.

 Do I need a new controller or new computer?

PC sounds fine

The. Pedals, maybe Stock may just need cleaning under the hood. I may replace cables. If you’re not comfortable doing those things ya might consider new.

I’d still research maintenance options. Sometimes the fix is easy, troubleshooting it not so much.

Still reminds me of a connection issue

If your cables disconnect and you have the right adapter you can plug into the cable thats plugged into the hub with a cell phone like the hub test.

CJ, CH products are a bit of a problem because of driver issues and they sure just getting older by the day.  Good stuff in their day.

Try this to see if windows will put you in a CH like driver.  If PC is off unplug CH pedals.  Strat PC. Once up and running plug back in CH pedals,
Another way is if your PC is up and running  unplug the pedals.  Restart PC, then shutdown PC, then plug in pedals, power up the PC.

 Thanks everyone.  I have found at least part of the problem, turns out the toe brakes were dragging ( pots ?) and causing plane go to slow on take off or veer off the runway during auto takeoff. I ordered new pedals hopefully that will take care of most or all of my problems. 

[428CJ]

 New rudder pedals (Thrustmaster) set up & calibrated still the rudder does not move on plane unless i unplug and plug back in the pedals.

 

[The Fugitive]

Did you use the same jack or a different one?

[Animl-AW]

I would not get rid of old pedals. -gg- has restored a set of CH stick and pedals with simple elbow grease cleaning. I would get in touch with her on her process with CH.

Can’t remember if you tried this

Disable Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers sleep mode
How to disable USB ports from automatically entering sleep mode on Windows. When the USB port enters sleep mode, it can cause a peripheral to “time out” and become unresponsive to the operating system.
To disable USB sleep mode
1) Right Click the Start Menu Icon on lower left of screen. Select Device Manager to open it.
2) Scroll to the bottom and click the arrow next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand the list.
3) Right click each item that has HUB in it and select Properties
4) Click the Power Management tab.
5) Make sure the Allow computer to turn off this device to save power box is unchecked on all HUBs that allow it.
6) Click OK to close the window.

It’s time to take s deeper look at cables and connections, but I’m not leaning hard there.

 I am losing it, new rudder pedals (thrustmaster) came, used them,  tried new patch dx11 had stutters so went to dx9  now both rudder pedals do not work in either dx9 or dx11.

 Both CH and thrustmaster pedals will calibrate and under advanced the green lines move smoothly but the rudder does Not move on the plane.

 I cant fly now    HELP

It sounds like the USB ports are turning off, from this statement.

New rudder pedals (Thrustmaster) set up & calibrated still the rudder does not move on plane unless i unplug and plug back in the pedals.

How many USB devices, besides your flight controllers do you have connected to your computer?  There is a limited amount of power available to the USB computer ports, and some mobos don't really handle them very well.

Do you hear the USB connect/disconnect chime when you are flying, or when you unplug/plug your pedals?

Does your computer use an rgb controller? I don't know if it's still a thing but there was a time when rgb controllers were causing issues with USB devices. If you are using one try disconnecting it and seeing if that resolves the controller issue.
