analog brake lever
« on: September 17, 2017, 08:15:15 PM »
My new stick has an analog brake lever, so when I map "both wheel brakes" to the lever it works fine, but the toe brakes no longer function on my pedals. As soon as I un-map the lever the toe brakes function normally. Can I have one or the other, but not both, or am I doing something wrong?

There can be only one... brake controller.

How does it worked mapped to FOV or View Move Up and Down?  Seems like either could be awesome for a spring return lever.

When I get that VKB MCG grip I'll have to figure out how to give that lever a use. I Have good pedals with brakes already. Toggle bay doors maybe? I'll have to figure out the software first!

You could set it as 2 button presses if you don't want to use it as an analog axis.

I figured it was something like that. To bad, it worked well as a brake, but I like having the differential braking I get with toe brakes.

I haven't tried it in any other function, but it is seen as both an analog controller and a button press.

What stick is it? Sounds like it has some great options! Yes, I could have googled the alphabet soup given in the response,just trying the other way lol :neener:

Their stick looks AWESOME! Love the mounting plates they have! Might just have to keep an eye on these developers! Far cry from the usual Flight Sticks! Thanks for the info guys  :banana:
