CH products remove toe brakes and place T type pedals?

[WildBillKelsoe]

Has anyone done it where you remove the toe brakes and close their circuit and have a T type rudder only like UH-1H?

I tore apart a set of CH Pedals to make a simple set for my cockpit... not much to it. What do you need?

You don't need "close their circuit", just don't assign the pedals axis in games.

 

And if want can block the foot pad brake movement with a screw (reversible "mod").

 

But I doubt that anyone has done this, people seems believe that "joe brakes" is the most import control in airplane. :lol:

Just wanted to see if it was possible as I kind of want to mimic ВКБ (VKB) pedals T type without the moving toe brakes.

mind showing me the link? Do you recommend I take away the centering springs?

Dont have link, the screw was just a idea, better forget this. :)

 

But based in what you say there

Seems that you want is use pedal brakes as rudder - to mimic T-Rudder vertical operation, Is this?

 

In this case just un-assign the pedal rudder axis for rudder in some plane (example TF-P51D) and add the pedals for control rudder - set like for Racing Sim pedals, for each brake axis use only half the right and left brake axis (Controls > Axis Tuning).

 

Will be more o less close of T-Rudder vertical operation - press the pedal instead of push for rudder input. But not close in the "feel". :)

The major difference is that in T-Rudder you control rudder with heels over a fixed support, what is not possible mimic in CH Pedals.

Hmm... I think you got confused. I meant removing toe brakes and replacing them with T type (no shoe) toe brakes, which would turn them physically to T rudder pedals in forward movement with your ankles resting on base. Question though, do T pedals by VKB move diagonal to floor and are they reciprocated (like CH) or independent like toe brakes left and right?

Yeah, pretty confusing.

 

I tore apart a set of CH pedals. I made a simple T rudder system like you describe. It pivots in the middle. Ankles are on a base. Only one potentiometer, no more toe brakes. I only fly BS, so I use no return springs in mine.

 

My T pedal is scratch built, using only two parts from the CH pedals.

 

Best of luck to you..

Really confuse. :wacko:

 

T-Rudder = don't have any type of brakes, nor "tip-toe brakes", nor "T type (no shoe) toe brakes" (whatever you mean with this).

 

You can't make a CH pedal - a sliding back and forth pedal work like T-Rudder in practical way.

 

Pay attention in the guy foots in this video, is how T-Rudder work, with up and down - slight in diagonal - movements:

 

 

 

T-Rudder are close to helicopters pedals - that don't have any kind of brakes (at least in most models). Is a uniaxial pedal. Although exotic their kinematics is inspired by some Tupolev airline rudder pedals. Is not "Alien science". :)

 

However, T-Rudder can brake both wheels or right or left wheel only in this way:

The brake lever in control column is emulated by software (T-Link) through a button in your joystick/throttle.

 

If you are this kind of guy that don't live without "tip-toe brakes, toe-brakes, joe-brakes..." better forget T-Rudder. ;)

Ok I understand now. I think I'll dive into VKB then. Thanks Sokol
