pedals thrustmaster help to setting rudders

[mosqui]

good morning to all

I am having problems with the configuration of my rudder thrustmaster, it works very erratically when I am taxing and takingoff. Could someone give me the correct settings for the dead zone, saturation x and y and curve. Thanks in advance.

I have sometimes used the following:

Dead zone 0, saturation X 95, saturation Y 60 and curve 24

[dburne]

Try a dead-zone around 5.

No saturation, no curve.

Before touch any settings in DCS, have you tried the RJ12 calibration tool supplied by Thrustmaster?

 

 

 

 

 

oh, also make sure that connector is still in PLANE position (my son touched this switch...)

[mosqui]

Thanks i´ll probe it

[mosqui]

It did not work .I will need more help for your.thanks

[Automan]

This is what I use

 

But take into consideration that setting up controls is often a matter of personal tastes.

[mosqui]

i am very unconfortable because rudders are uncontrolable.Before it working well.

I test your setting, thanks automan

I will tell you late

[mosqui]

automan

i tested your setting but my rudders do not works.

I don know how can i solve this issue.

perhaps i can use target software.i will test

[Automan]

With which aircraft are you testing the controls?

Do you see spikes in controls with the thrustmaster calibration tool? or in the device control panel under devices & printers/game controllers?

[rtimmons]

When i have had this kind of problem in the past it has been because controllers were preset to control my rudders etc. that I was not aware of. I always get a set of warthog preset settings that I have to undo before things work right. Check that two different things are not assigned to the rudders in both the AXIS controls screen and the regular rudders control screen.

I am a previous owner of TM's TFRP. I was able to fly just fine, but when I decided to start practicing landing the F-15 I couldn't get it to stay on the runway on touchdown. I used the TM calibration tool and noticed a lot of spiking.

 

I was never able to get TM support to respond so I returned them to Amazon. I purchased the TFRP because I was on a budget. There were also no available Saitek pedals available. They recently became available for sale at Amazon and I purchased one. Landing is much easier with those pedals.

Try to go through ordinary windows calibration.It`s helped me with TM throtle calibration spikes

[mosqui]

I am testing with A 10 C module ,and i use the thrustmaster controller from apps in Windows 10.i never use panel control to set my rudders.

[mosqui]

I am lost about this issue.i am Thinking delete Dcs world and reinstall it again

[Sokol1_br]

You already test your pedal in Windows Control Panel > Game Controllers to see if work spike free?

 

If not, no curve or deadzone in game will help.

 

Try do the calibration - preferable with Tm soft, or if not installed with Windows Games Controllers applet.

[Automan]

Just to exclude an hardware defect of TRFP, before reinstall DCS or delete controller profiles in Savegame, are you seeing spikes/movements in the control panel setting of the device?

When not in use, the green zones should be remain aligned

Thanks you so much for your help to me.

When rudders do not work it The green line is corret to rudder and tose.

I lo try to delete and reinstall again profile be cause every thing point that t rudder hardware is workingin

I ll tell you late

I have another thread on the same subject in this section. Spiking all over the place and not getting full deflection on left pedal. Workaround was putting a high dead zone of 120 in the TM calibration utility.

I had comms with Thrustmaster and they gave me a reference to get a replacement unit from the retailer, as they don't fix these pedals saying the design is too simple.

I'm going to get a refund and buy the Saitek pedals instead.

I cannot recommend these TM pedals. They are cheap, but it's quite obvious why!

I have noticed 2 retailers stopping selling them recently.

This B plan looks like "Jumping from the frying pan into the fire." :)

Seriously? I thought the Saitek pedals are highly recommended.

Why do you say that?

mosqui was having a software calibration problem, not hardware defect like your case

Saitek Combat rudder have a better look and pedals are more spaced, but they have potentiometers too. So may fail... exactly like TFRP

Not sure about that. His issues sound the exact same as mine. Spiking and being uncontrollable at times. My issue can also be resolved by implementing large dead zones in the calibration tool, but all that is doing is working round the hardware issue.

I don't think these pedals are worth recommending. The fact that TM would never repair them is significant. Too cheap to bother about.

I thought that the Saitek pedals have a much better build quality, and a pretty good performance reputation. No?

omissis...every thing point that t rudder hardware is workingin

If you speak about build quality and materials look, OK, but hardware under the hood maybe the same cheap chinese potentiometers:doh:

So, I think that TM pedals fails exactly like Saitek fails:smilewink:

Just some posts for reference on this forum:

 

My Saitek Combat rudder pedal's toe brake is dead

 

Saitek pedals' right toe brake damaged. Help?

Thanks for that.

I guess nothing is perfect, but looking around, it seemed to me that they were built better. The TMs have a really cheap feel to the plastic, etc. But, they are only around £70, so you get what you pay for.

These are not discontinued and are the ones I am talking about

Saitek PRO or Combat pedals use low cost potentiometer like TFRP so they start spike is just matter of time.

 

In last years Madcatz QC drops like their shares value.

 

CH PRO Pedal use good quality pot, but wires in pot' tabs is not welded, instead use connectors, that can became loose and pot' spikes. Besides this, their electronics is obsolete (8 bits).

 

If you want quality go for the "Next Gen" pedals with contactless sensors, ball bearings in pivots - Baur, MFG, Slaw, VKB.
