MFG Crosswind brake behaviour

[Boris]

EDIT: Sorry, I solved this just minutes after posting. I reset the pedals to "default" in the settings tab of the MFG pedals in the Windows game controller setup. Maybe this will help someone else.

 

 

I just recently noticed that the brakes on my Crosseing pedals are acting weird, and I'm not sure if it's always been like that.

 

When I begin to depress my brakes the X and Y axes automatically jump to 50% of travel and I only get a response in the 50 to 100% range.

Is this normal behaviour?

 

I've installed the latest firmware, done the calibration in the MFG configurator, and have tried multiple settings, but can't get the full range from 0 to 100% working.

 

Anyone know what's going on?

I occasionally get weird X-Wind behavior too with the brakes

 

I cannot remember which order but one axis acts normally but at the same time it also applies around 50% input on the other axis

 

The opposite axis only applies somewhere around 25% input when operated and has no effect on the other

 

Unplugging and resetting fixes the issue for a long time.

 

I think there may be some sort of firmware bug because it is quite rare and has been like this for a long time.

 

I thought it was just me that got weird behavior, I'll check my Windows Game controllers............thanks

I also had to reverse the axis for the brakes.

I too have had a couple weird problems with my right toe brake that I haven't been able to nail down, but it hasn't been a persistent thing.

This happened to me once. I jiggled all the cables in their jacks, taking them out and pushing them in securely, etc., then recalibrated everything and that got everything working and has been working ever since.

Hi All

I'm having a problem with my MFG crosswind pedals that it sounds like some of you might recognise.

Pushing on the rudder pedal with my right foot (i.e. operating the Rx axis),  is causing the the right toe brake (Y axis) to respond. I am not moving the the brake pedal through its arc of movement & indeed I get the same response of i push on the rudder cross bars rather than the pedal!

There is obviously some sort of coupling occurring between the Rx axis & the Y axis, but I have no idea how to troubleshoot or resolve it, so any ideas or known solutions would be most welcome.

Just for completeness the Y axis appears to function normally when operated in isolation & the X axis ( left toe brake) works just fine. I have checked that the firmware is up to date & have run the MFG Configurator software as per the instructions in the manual but still no dice.

 

Thanks

good manners

If you have run through the MFG software calibration and it still does that, suggest you contact Milan. He is typically very responsive.

Only calibrate with the MFG software, never Windows.

Thanks - I have emailed MFG & will wait to see what they recommend

Just wondering if you ever got a response? I am having a similar issue

I had the issue of the brakes being calibrated in configuration software but only providing 50%-100% in windows ano thus all windows games, I contacted Milan at MFG and he quickly pointed out that the FAQ on the website addresses these issues. 
 

Feeling stupid, for not RTFM, i read the FAQ and indeed it did address the issue. Strongly recommend to read the FAQ to avoid feeling my embarrassment. I apologised to Milan and he was gracious

Damn, now I feel stupid. Thought it was a feature and worked around it
