Saitek Combat Rudder Setup?

[Darkwolf187]

So, I've read various posts from people here talking about the pedals, but I'm still rather confused about how things are supposed to be with both the toe brakes and the rudder itself.

 

At the moment if I push the LEFT rudder pedal away from me, the A-10 yaws to the LEFT, and the LEFT pedal in the cockpit moves away from the pilot. So I'm pretty sure that's right. The reverse for the right.

 

If I push BOTH the toebrakes at once, a taxiing A-10 dips forward and comes to a stop. I don't have invert turned on, but I do have slider on. This makes me think that my toebrake orientation is right. When I press a toebrake in the Axis Tune window, the black dot moves from left to right, and the red dot on the curve moves from the bottom left to the top right.

 

However, if I have the LEFT pedal assigned to the LEFT toebrake, when I'm taxiing forwards and press the LEFT toebrake, the A-10 yaws to the RIGHT. That indicates to me that the RIGHT wheel is braking.

 

So at the moment I have the LEFT pedal's brake assigned to the RIGHT toebrake input in the config, and vice-versa.

 

Does this sound correct? Am I doing something wrong? Are the toebrakes supposed to be press-to-stop-braking, or are they supposed to be press-to-start-braking?

 

Summary:

 

- Pressing left rudder pedal moves left pedal in cockpit, a-10 yaws to the left. Vice versa is true.

- Toebrakes are not inverted but have slider on.

- Pressing both toebrakes brakes the A-10.

- Pressing left toebrake when assigned to right toebrake input causes A-10 to yaw to the left. Vice versa is true.

- Are the toebrakes supposed to be press-to-brake, or are they supposed to be press-to-release?

Reverse the left and right feet (left is left ;)). Uncheck the slider box and check the invert box. That should get things working correctly.

Ok, so pushing the toebrake is supposed to _release_ the brakes then?

No. I was getting turned around in your description so I wasn't sure what was doing what. Slider should be unchecked and invert should be checked and the brakes should be on when pressed, just like the brake in a car.

 

If your brakes are working the opposite then uncheck the invert box but AFAIK everyone with Saitek pedals has them inverted for DCS.

Pressing on the toe brake should apply brakes and pressing on the pedal should yaw in the corresponding direction. My Saitek combat pedals are set up as follows:

 

Rudder: JOY_RZ

Left Wheel Brake: JOY_X (invert axis)

Right Wheel Brake: JOY_Y (invert axis)

[Darkwolf187]

Yeah, I was hoping that readers wouldn't get turned around :D

 

I'll check my settings against yours when I get home. Right now everything breaks (ha!) down as follows;

 

- Left foot pedal causes A-10 to yaw to the left when pushed.

- Pressing toe brake applies the brake to the wheels (ie, stops them)

- Left toe brake causes A-10 to yaw to the left when pushed.

 

Seems like that's actually normal, even though I have things swapped over and other weirdness. I'll check the axis assignments tonight :)

[Darkwolf187]

Checked it at home. Turned out that the toebrakes _were_ on push to release, but I didn't notice because they get swapped over or something if you press the wheelbrake key!

 

It's all working perfectly now. I assigned the left toebrake pedal to the left toebrake input, and turned on invert. Yaw directions when using the brakes are now fine, no weird braking issues.

That did the trick , thank you:beer:

My toe brake don't work properly into DCS A10C.

 

I have 10% if i push the toe

I let off it is loose 50%

 

It is 0% only to repeated

 

In the DXTweak2.exe Programm is all O.K.

There aren't any problems in X-Plane.

 

My setup in DCS is:

 

Rudder: JOY_RZ

Left Wheel Brake: JOY_X (invert axis)

Right Wheel Brake: JOY_Y (invert axis)

Meine toe brakes funktionieren nicht richtig in DCS A10C

 

Wenn ich die toe drücke habe ich 100%

Lasse ich los sind es 45%

 

Erst nach mehrmaligen losslassen sind es 0%

 

Im Programm DXTweak2.exe ist alles O.K

In X-Plane gibt es auch keine Probleme !

 

 

Mein Setup in DCS ist:

 

Rudder: JOY_RZ

Left Wheel Brake: JOY_X (invert axis)

Right Wheel Brake: JOY_Y (invert axis

I just got these pedals and had the same issue. Here's the fix:

I solved the problem just using "tune axis" options from CONTROL´s tab, inside DCSW. After assigning Wheel Brake LEFT to JOY_X, press Axis Tune and set it this way:

Deadzone - 0

Saturation X - 0

Saturation Y- 100

Curvature - 0

And check invert box. Do not check the other boxes!

 

Repeat the same procedure to the JOY_Z (Wheel Brake RIGHT).

 

Assign JOYRZ to rudder, and do not change anything.

 

It works like a charm for me.

Fantastic....:pilotfly:

 

:joystick: Many thanks, this is working to 100% now! :thumbup:

 

My setup now:

 

Left and right toe...

 

00 - Deadzone

75 - Saturation X

00 - Saturation Y

00 - Curvature (i think later 20 - 30)

 

Invert check

Thanx a lot!!
