Thrustmaster TFRP stiction "fix"

[dbpetrol]

Just wanted to share how I "fixed" the stiction problem with my pedals. I tried to grease them but it only helped a little... For me it's very hard to do precise manuvers with the pedals.

 

The "fix" is to combine the brake pedals to a single axis and assign the new axis to rudder in DCS. I used UCR and "Axis merger" to do this. This way I have way more control over the rudder. It's easy to know where the center is (no pedal is pressed). To turn right - press right brake pedal, to turn left - press left brake pedal.

 

With this "fix" you have to assign brakes to a button or another axis.

 

I hope this can be helpful to someone!

You create a "virtual" T-Rudder. :)

Yes, acctually, it was when looking for new pedals, like the VKB T-rudder, i got the idea :thumbup:

Good idea, but I think you will have problems on ground controlling ac that doesn't have NWS and use differential brake to steer, right?

Yes, but I fly jets (su 27, f15, a10c, mirage).

 

For the Mustang and such I just keep the normal axis for rudder and brakes :)

I fly Mustang, Bf 109, Fw 190 and has no problem for ground steering using T-Rudder and a joy button for "Wheel brakes (both)" + rudder bar. The lack of "Joe Brakes" is not really a practical issue.
