wuffman Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 OK, so Madcatz has no driver update for Combat Pro Rudder pedals for Win8.1; it's not like they're the top pedals for flight. Oh, wait, they are! And the new Rhino X55, what pedals do they think should go with them? Frustrated here, after discovering how to force CloD to "see" the rudder pedals in 8.1 ( unplug pedals, start system, start Clod, make sure X52 Flight Stick is working, back out of Clod, plug in pedals, restart Clod... whew! ), I fire up DCS. Load .configs, go to plane on runway, no TIR... Discover you have to delete TIR.config files, restart game, all good. I try to roll the P51 to taxi... pushing toe brake now works ailerons. ! Seems DCS "sees" toe brake axis as joystick X axis. Hours of research and trick moves, still no toe brakes. I know, just config. KYBd to brakes. Well, Combat Pros are almost $200, and mainly so you get these hefty aluminum pedals with TOE BRAKES ! So just ignoring them is ridiculous. Madcatz has been "working" on 8.1 drivers since Oct. of last year, no joy yet. Does anyone know of a way to make DCS "see" toe brakes as separate axis? Rudder works fine, no problem. THX!!! Win 7 is not an option, as I just built a new PC based on Win 8.1, mainly for DCS WW2, of which I am a faithful backer. Again, THX!
cichlidfan Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 My Saitek Combat pedals are working fine in Win 8.1 with DCS, CloD, et. al. DCS has always mapped incorrect axis to rudder pedals by default. You have to go in the Options>Controls and change them.

wuffman Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 My post is too long! Have been to options controls. Cannot change them because everytime I try to assign toe brake is says Joy_X. That is my flightstick. I cannot force it to call the toe brake anything but Joy_X or Joy_Y. Thx for your reply, M8.
cichlidfan Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 There is a separate column in the controls screen for your pedals. If you click the box in the pedals column you cannot assign an axis from your flight stick. Also, your pedal brake axis are X and Y. Your flight stick has an X and Y axis too! They are separate things.

They are separate things. Tell that to the P51, LOL. It rolls left with the left toe brake, and right with the right toe brake! I know, I'm the only one in the world with this problem. Really do appreciate your help, but I am doing like you say ( have done it many times in Win7 ) and 8.1 has a thing about separating the rudder pedals from the flightstick. Guess I need to TS with someone on real time. Thanks cichlidm, ~S~
