Really excessive noise in pedals with TM Pedals

Latest 2.9 bera

Track attached. 

Turn on controls indcator overlay or watch the legs of pilot.

Tiny smooth pedals cause excessive diversions in amount and direction of pedal motion.

Maybe hardware malfunction, maybe software filtering.

I got thrustmaster pedals and they work just fine. They did change the heading hold logic though.

Not really helping. But how old are your pedals.

You say thrustmaster pedals are not working in the bug reports. Of course me saying that my thrustmaster pedals ARE working is helping because it shows that the problem is not with the pedals themselves.

mine are about 6 years old.

run joy.cpl from command prompt.

Select T-Rudder properties

Move pedals rudder axis.

?Is the input stable and accurate?

In DCS/Options/AH-64D Pilot/Axis/Rudder  When going from max deflection L to max R and vice versa are the inout stable or does it vibrate as it moves? Mine vibrates a lot. The software is not filtering and smoothing input. What this causes is tail that wiggles. creating unstable directional control.

yes. it is perfectly smooth for me. it isn't a DCS bug if your hardware fails.

try https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/

just to be sure, we're talking about these thrustmaster pedals, right?

yes

So U believe the pedals are failing. The potentiometers are faulty or worn out? 

[FalcoGer]

If the problem is not just showing in DCS but elsewhere, like in the windows axis position indicator, then it's not a DCS bug.

I can't tell you what's wrong with your pedals. Ask TM.
