View Full Version : Problem with brakes
Anyone had the problem when applying brakes with the rudder
pedals that the brakes stay applied ?
Can't see any conflict in assignments within FS so don't no where
else to look.
Many thanks

Nige, are these pot style brakes or simple on/off momentary switches? Either way check what is happening in Windows joystick config to see if they are staying on or not. Do you run FSUIPC?

Hi ,
These are "pots" to operate the brake pedals, (ch pro).
Windows joystick calibration shows no problems
and they are not assigned through fsuipc.
thanks

For CH Pro what you should do is calibrate the brakes while sticking a CD Jewel Case under the front edge (ie - brakes slightly applied) of each. This will basically set the travel so that when the brakes are released (without the jewel case) , the are beyond the travel that was set and therefore wont be engaging the brakes. Works like a charm.

It's very good and helps with several CH products' configuration.
