Seems I have found my issue, and it is not DCS related.
My Crosswinds are going bad. I checked in the MFG software, and they are not even recognized now. Got them in 2015. I have a good suspicion it is in the cable. I will have a new cable from Amazon sometime tomorrow so will find out for sure then. I am hoping it is just the cable.
If it is not the cable reckon I will take a look at the TM top end pedals.
Sorry for the false alarm.
