Yep, its going to be sooo neat.  Those massive german carriers with FW's and 109's coming off the pitching decks.  109's armed with torpedoes, screaming across the waves.  

And of course, Papa Von Boyington, and his group of misfit JG26, Pacific based fighter pilots getting wasted, and listening to polka music. It dont get no better than that!

Everything that I have been led to believe is that there are not enough axis with an analog connection to handle the toe brake function of some rudder pedals.  Is this going to be a USB controller only feature?
Please explain.

 You could plug in several analog controllers using dedicated gamecards or EPIC card, but the USB is a way to go.
 USB CH Pedals - 3 axis
 MS PPro - 4 axis
 MS Freestyle - 3 axis (I use it instead of a throttle quadrant)

 Total 10 axis and a gameport/more USB available to plug in more stuff.

 Also - no calibration, drift or spiking. Change your Wicked ways, convert to USB and be saved!

For Toebrakes with 1 analog card.

I just took apart a keyboard and wired the microswitches for my toe brakes to 2 of the "keys".
The new "keyboard" is wired in series with my normal keyboard so I can still use it.
I just map the brakes to those keys, and woooohooo toe brakes.

Unfortunately since I switched to a USB stick I haven't been using my rudder pedals. I'm planning on modifying them to a HALL affect system. (just like the simped pedals)
Why bother ???
Because my pedals are aluminum copies of the real thing, with small, gas, "trunk support" pistons to provide centering and a little resistance.

Too much hassle for most people..I know.

Hey AFRIKA9....what have you been smoking??? And can you share with the rest of us??  Papa Von Boyington....109s on carriers....

Must have been watching the Twilight Zone Marathon on SciFi again.

I'm confused... I've had my CH USB pedals working with differential braking for quite some time.  Each toe brake registers as a DirectX button which I mapped to each wheel brake... works great (hasn't helped my flying, but I can taxi like a pro!).
