Caldera Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Hey All, I just got the ACE Flight Rudder Pedals. I adjusted them for comfort and then plugged them in to my PC. I tried to calibrate them. The first thing that I noticed is that The Virpil Configuration Tool recognizes them, but I can not calibrate them. I thought this was weird. On the line for the for the pedals it says "Version not Supported" for firmware version 20211101. The Virpil web site does not detail how to update the firmware or if I even should / need to do so. At least where I can find any information on their web site for the pedals. The firmware that I have installed on my Stick and Throttle is 20210102. The latest firmware version I see on the Virpil web site is 20201118. Confusing... I have had a couple of problems with the pedals: In DCS, I could not get the left and right to work correctly at first. The DCS rudder would always go the opposite direction of the actual pedal movement even if I inverted the axis. I finally discovered that there are actually two axis that can be selected on the DCS Controls Adjustment page which are the RZ and the R axis. The default was RZ and I switched to the R. That fixed the problem, but I never noticed multiple axis selectable for a single device before. Windows Control Panel tester chokes on the them. The pedals are visible under Hardware and Sound. If I right click on the pedals and then select Game Controller Settings then select VPC Rudder Pedals then select Properties I get a Game Controller error. The error says "Your Game Controller is not connected correctly. Please verify that it is plugged in to your computer". That is just dumb, because the controller (pedals) is (are) working in the VPC Joystick Tester and in DCS. Suggestions? Do I need to update the firmware? Don't worry be happy? The pedals are great and so far I love them. Thanks in advance, Caldera
HC_Official Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 yeah you will need to upgrade the firmware on the device to match the software version you are using There is a "beta" version on the Virpil forums if you are feeling frisky https://forum.virpil.com/index.php?/topic/5472-vpс-software-setup-20211101-release-candidate/ No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .
