Assistance with Setting up Saitek Pro flight Rudder Pedals.

[thdman1511]

I have just received my Saitek Pro Flight Rudder pedals and would like some assistance with setting them up wiith DCS.

 

When I access the control set up, the rudder control in Axis command is set to Rz, saitek, and Rz for my Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X. or should I set it up under the flight commands. As I find that setting up left and right rudder in the flight commands the left rudder is not recognised, or do I need to use assign axis to set the pedals up in flight command. With the toe brakes do I set them to left and right brakes in the flight commands.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I am not sure if I really understand your problem here ...

 

"Rudder" is one axis that you assign to one device axis, "Left Toe Brake" is one axis and "Right Toe Brake" is an other axis which you assign to, well, the device's left and right toe brake axes. You probably need to go to "Axis Tune" for each toe brake axis and set them to "Inverse" so they function correctly.

Then double check that for each axis function you use only one device axis is assigned (i.e. only one entry per line in the control setup dialog) - otherwise your devices would generate steering commands that contradict each other.

Well each joystick is independent so your stick axis RZ is not the same as your Rudder. Depending on what your setting up say rudder input..... you can assign all of your components as a rudder. and that is not what you want. make sure you click axis assign and if you have multiple axis's for your rudder you must delete those commands. Only assign one rudder axis and make sure only one is selected between your joystick/throttle/rudder.. the same applies for the toe brakes. What I do is delete all the inputs and go through 1 by 1 that way I know there is nothing conflicting with each other. Now for the toe brake just make sure to invert the axis input, and as far as I know the only aircraft to use toe brakes are the A-10c F-15 and TF/P-51.

 

Rudder Left/Right is for a key command for a keyboard or key pad or maybe a button. What you want is in Axis assign, since you have an axis dedicated for that reason.
