Please help me with my malfunctioning pedals!

Hi,

I really would appreciate it if anyone can help me with a problem with my Saitek Pro Flight Combat rudder pedals. They were working fine until yesterday as I was going through the Huey tutorial for starting up the chopper and suddenly they just stopped working properly. One minute they were totally functional then the next the only movement they responded to was my pressing down of the toe-brakes. When I pushed the pedals to try to get rudder movement they were just not responding. I tried the pedals with other DCS aircraft with still no registering of my pushing the pedals except for the toe-brakes. I did not change anything with the connections to my PC and have tried several times to get them working by pulling the USB connection out from my PC and put it back in with no success. I made sure I was out of the game when I did this. I did also try plugging them into a different USB port but still they would not work properly. I experimented moving the friction knob as well with no change. I had changed nothing with the controls settings too when they started to do this. I tried them in Microsoft Flight Simulator and even there the rudder would still not work at all.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there anything I can do to try to rectify this or are they just broken? Not sure what to do so any help is much appreciated.

You should have the Saitek program in the notification area if you have installed all the software. I would check it and make sure that if you right click on the rudder icon and select control panel it will give you a window that will check if it can see the rudder. You can move them and it will show what they are doing.

If that works, then check and make sure the axis is still assigned correctly under the options and then axis section.
