Issue with Rudder Pedals

[Bersagliere81]

Hi there

 

I noticed this issue witth my Thrustmaster T flight pedals.

 

As you can see if I move full right, it moves as expected, however moving full left, it does not go full end.

Gameplay speaking, using that window with alt+enter, it stops barely at its middle strenght.

 

What can it be? How can I solve such issue?

Apparently switching USB port solves the issue, but I get a heavier pedal flickering.

I will give it a deeper look next days, but if someone has a solution please let me know thanks

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...)

.

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

 

Eventually, write in italian section too, so we can speak in our native language;)

Thank you for the answer, we better speak english in case someone else has the same issue.

 

Yes I already did everything you suggested, and everything is as it is supposed to be.

 

Only the calibration tool looks weird, toe brakes slightly flicker (like having a small intermittend and fast force applied), while the central value has some heavy flickering. But once I move them they tend to stabilize. Also, on this panel, moving full left does not reach the full value.

The trustmaster control panel looks stable however

Use some potentiometer cleaner spray and rinse the pots thoroughly with it ( while DISCONNECTED ! ).

 

Back in the days of the older TM gear I had to do that pretty often, every 4-6 weeks, to "clean" the spiking. You likely have leftover production dust or other dirt in those pots.

 

Youtube has nice vids about rinsing pots with electro-spray.

It really seems to be that problem. I am fairly "scared" to open it, I might think about contacting the seller for a change. I will think about it.

 

Thank you for the hint

 

Also if you know a video abut the T Rudder pedals specifically please link it, I'd like to have something showing me step to step
