Author Topic: 2nd stick (pedals) shows up, but... (Read 302 times)

I'm using a Saitek X45 HOTAS and CH analog pedals plugged in to an analog joystick/gameport. Windows XP Pro recognizes both, and both function in Gaming Options in Win. AH sees the Pedals, but shows only zeroes for the axis levels, not recognizing any motion. I have tried identifying the pedals as a joystick, as recommended, and dl'd the latest CH analog drivers which makes them show up as pedals. AH sees them either way, but won't recognize any motion. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I love the X45 setup, but hate the built in rudder and want my pedals back.

My CH ped config has always been a mystery to me, but I find that if I install CH control manager and create a profile with just the pedals on it AH works fine. Until I create the profile though, I just get all zeros.

I don't need to understand it... they work.

Thanks Tarmac, but my CH pedals are analog... they plug in to game port. Control Manager only works on USB CH products.

Doh. Figured they all use it.

Out of ideas then.

Try asking on the Saitek Help forum on SimHQ.
