Since last update - wheel brakes not a zero level - pedals ok, please fix

[v2tec]

Something I recognized after the last update - checked with KA50, AH-64D, F16, F18, A10C, A10CII

I use my pedals for left and right wheelbrakes.

My pedals are well centered / calibrated with the windows controller settings. When I enter the controls config in DCS I also can see that the pedals are centered.

Inside the aircraft I activate the steering axis view and I can see that the wheel brakes are not on the zero level when untouched. I can press the key for the wheel brakes and then it goes zero level. But when I touch the pedals and let it go it doesn't return to the zero level.

Increasing the zero zone for those pedal axis doesn't fix it.

I am using the TM TPR Pedals - no problems until now.

Please show a screeshot of your axis bindings and your wheelbrakes axis tune window. Check for double bindings and physical pedal return. Centering has nothing to do with pushing the pedal unless they share axis. Try also decreasing Y saturation and slider option.

Easy! Set the toe brakes as sliders. Depending on the module you might even need to invert it.

I know some people disagrees with me here, but the thumb rule is that axis that do not return to center should always be set as sliders.

If you think about it - the only difference is physical spring which the software has no way of knowing - it just registers axis position. But maybe the setting alone does something - idk. That's why I advised to test this option.

Yeah, I agree, and I would assume it too. But it seems to be different behaviour for different users. I can see in your signature that you have the same setup as I used to have, but I always had to set my throttle/wheel/slider (and the toe brakes) as sliders, or I would have the same behaviour as OP.

Cheers!

No, the slider idea will and does not fix the problem. It worked with the settings before and I didn't change anything on my configuration. So something has changed in this or the update before. When I look to the slider or axis configuration, pressing the pedals starts from the center and goes to the border, not from border to border.

As I said, the windows input controller configuration shows no mismatch and so the TPR Calibration Tool. Here's a screenshot.

I pressed the right pedal and it goes down to zero. The left pedal isn't pressed so it shows the full bar and values.

Again, please show a screeshot of your axis bindings. Check for double bindings. Unplug any unused devices. You can also try and temporarily move the \saved games\dcs\config\input to a backup place. The game will start with empty bindings - see if you can bind the rudder again and if it works.

Well, that doesn't make ay sense. What you describe is exactly what happens when the pedals are not set at sliders, which they should be.
In your screenshot, they are not set as sliders.
Cheers!

Ok, I have found a fix.

These are my axis-settings for the left and right pedal. With these I have the full bandwith for the brakes. Well, screenshots are in german, but I guess you can see the settings by the position on the screen. Setting it to slider was not enough.

(Final) UPDATE:

I figured out, that these settings are handled different between the aircrafts.

Some aircrafts require the slider invert and some not.

Also, a curvature rate between -50 and -60 fits best - for me.

Does this setting make you have brakes at exactly zero or just almost zero when not pushed?

@v2tec
Well, yeah! I did tell you that.
Curves are a matter of personal taste of course.
