pedals as rudder (DSD board) simracing pedals can not setup

[adrianstealth]

Hi all

 

For the life of me I can not get my pedals working for the rudder

 

I have a 3 pedal set that I use for racing simulation

 

I stupidly thought that I could easily assign the clutch and acceleration pedal to control the plane rudder

 

Tried everything in the DCS setup including all the axis deadzome situation etc.

 

I read that vjoy did the trick so I downloaded it but it said something about Andover error and running it and having a fiddle really did nothing -it showed a vjoy device in the DCS devices but that was useless too

 

Something that I thought would be very simple now seems impossible

 

 

Is there a simple fix / solution ?????

 

I'm surprised DCS doesn't account for sim racing style pedals as so many people have them

 

Any help appreciated, happy to try vjoy again but I downloaded from vjoy website and it wouldn't work properly

The trouble is you are trying to use two axis to control one axis.

 

The easiest way I can think of is to use something like xpadder and assign each pedal to a button push instead, that way you could control the rudder with emulated button pushes instead of axis.

Thanks for reply/help bign

 

I was going to try this method (1st part before this one has some 1st stages)

Frustrating this needs to be done though, I'd have thought there would be a few options within DCS to make it easy,

Many people have race car style pc pedal sets

Well, imagine a person with flight rudder pedals without toe brakes = 1 axis, trying control brake and clutch = 2 axis in raging games. No way. ;)

 

But you can use your 2 racing pedal axis to control rudder in DCS without use these awkward "XJoy" solutions.

 

DCS allow you to set 2 axis for the same function, so is mater to play with deadzones and sensitivity of both to each control half rudder axis. See Coilwinder post there explaining:

BTW - Falcon BMS allow create a virtual axis for rudder using two axis in racing pedal in their game controls - in a more simple way:

Thanks but those methods work with consumer pedals club sports and G27 but not with custom pedals ( Leo bodnar and DSD circuit boards etc ) sadly

 

I tried every setting trying to get it to work, Vjoy and those other apps seem like my only hope

how that differs? the method sokol showed you doesn't use "combined pedals" option from logitech profiler. 2 axis is the same thing on any controller. play with axis invert in dcs settings.

 

just remember not to press both pedals while in flight lol

[Sokol1_br]

Yes, this is not related with controller brand or software, a USB Controller for DIY work in the same way that brand one (in some cases better), is just matter to set 2 axis for rudder control in DCS setup, as this provide the option to set 2 axis for the same function.

 

I test there now with joystick X and Y axis in SU-27 and work as expected. :thumbup:

 

 

Edit - Even with axis from two different controllers.

 

 

Don't take 2 minutes do set. ;)

 

BTW - If want a easy way, look at this. :D

Dear Lord, if it this 2-axis trick works with Thrustmaster T500 pedals and I can control ruddder with clutch and gas rather than brake and gas, I'll be the happiest sim-flyer in this forum. Have been using combined axis solution for years, as it was the only way in other sims.

 

Edit: Works perfectly. Figuring out how to add curvatures was a bit tricky, as preview screen is somewhat confusing, but now everything is great!

Zero way my pedals will work without remapping

 

Took me ages used vjoy and UJR ( as in vids above )

 

Then settings as Sokol (post above ) works nice now , phew

 

Anyhow anyone else with pedals using a bodnar board a DSD circuit here is the place for info

-most consumer racing pedals should be fine to go straight to Sokol settings above

 

Thanks all for responses

[Sokol1_br]

I don't understand your point about Bodnar an similar controllers for DIY... :ermm:

 

But for what matter's BU0836 can control DCS rudders combining two axis like with joysticks - without use 3rd part softs: :thumbup:

I use a DSD board, was said by someone else that their bodnar board needs mapping too

 

But maybe its just the DSD board that needs this ( just my luck ! )

Anyhow with the universal reappear running it works fine now after remapping etc

The thing is DSD board is like Bodnar board, based on PIC mc and use the same Windows USB HID drivers... But, u know... :huh:
