Title: 2nd stick (pedals) shows up, but...
Post by: Skorpyon on March 28, 2003, 11:41:18 PM

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.
