Menessis Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 My very old CH Pro Pedels (non USB) are only giving me left rudder. Where do I start to trouble shoot them? Thanks Menessis

531-Ghost Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 As much as you probably don't want to hear this. Three letters, U. S. B. Or, you could open them up and look for a broken wire. After all I'm pretty sure they are no longer under warranty. :joystick:
Menessis Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks guys. I pulled it apart. I found that the wires going to the toe brake was broken. Fixed that and then had the idea to swap the pot from the toe brake to the axis. The ohm meter showed dead spots all over the place on the original. So it's back together now but not tested. Menessis

Menessis That's the spirit! Great!
Menessis Posted July 8, 2013 Author Posted July 8, 2013 Well I didn't even think to test the other pot. Never used the toe brakes......That thing is pretty flakey! Looks like I have to take it apart again. BTW another thing that has always bothered me is this. My pedals have always been backwards. I have to reverse the axis "in game" to make them work. The weird part is I step on the rudder and they work like they should. But the pedals in the 3D pit are opposite????? So when I had them apart I plugged the wire into the opposite unused terminal. They work opposite to what they did but when I changed it in the setup the 3D pedals are backwards again. Menessis

Menessis Posted July 8, 2013 Author Posted July 8, 2013 Well ............get ready Peter! I have been flying sims for a long time and I have been using the "bicycle" way of doing things. Don't hurt yourself laughing! :( Now I have to re learn what to do with my feet! OMG! One embarrassed Menessis P.S. this is just between you and me right?
