Title: CH pedals
Post by: Larokkit on June 05, 2006, 01:11:16 AM

was having several different stick probs when the 'light 'came on. i did away with control manager and just calibrated and set everything w AH. everything works beautifully except rudder pedals. even have the toe brakes working(x/y axis) rudder is z.   ive switched them up ,calibrated,tried everything i know to try.most i ever am able to get is rudder moving one direction...damping or scaling doesnt seem to help. any ideas?
        great system ,i hated control manager,too complicated for a part time pc'r like me. thanks HT!

If you have toe brakes working, I assume you have USB pedals.  

Just to make sure, have you looked in the AH mapping interface for your pedals?  They will be a separate device if you arent using the Control Manager software.  Find the drop down list that says ........... whatever it is now, something like "Controller" or "Device".  Your joystick should be there in that list, along with the axes to be set and what they are mapped to (ie "Y Axis and X Axis to Pitch and Roll, etc).  Z axis in THAT list is your throttle on the stick.  Ignore that and set it to nothing if you have a HOTAS.  It's meant for a "up/down" slider, not a 3 position sliding setup like a rudder.  In the drop down menu you will either have the rudder pedals listed, or a ? for an unknown device.  Select it and set your Z axis on that controller, and try again.

You can alternately use the Control Manager software to combine all your devices into one device for Windows.  Then you'll see two "Z axis" settings on  your stick in Aces High.  One will say "Z axis" and one says "Z rotation axis".  One is your stick throttle, one is the rudder pedals.

yes.. in AH interface i see all 3 devices,stick ,throtle, pedals.
    stick is using x/y     z is blank
    throttle          z       x/y blank
    pedals       x-left toe brake
                      y-right toe
                       z- rudder
  everything works perfectly except rudder,i dont want to monkey with cm if i dont have to.

  thanks for the help Star,i'll keep pluggin.

I had a problem with my CH Pro pedals. After I Clicked on CH rudder pedals
I noticed there was no info. So I clicled on the Z Axis and then clicked on Rudder. Then I clicled on Calibrate Axis on the top of the page. Since then No more problems. I see its a post from yesterday hope this helps

thanks crim,ive made it that far ok but the only way i can get rudder is if i delete the toe brakes off of the x/y axis and use z for rudder...i guess i want cake and pie.
   thanks anyway

Larrokit its because you have your toe brakes working. Right now HT has stated multiple commands from a button cant be mapped or shared.
He has said though he is considering changing this for toe brakes.
Unmapp your toe brakes and your rudder should work fine.
