A-10A wheel brakes?

[ENO]

Sorry if this is in some hidden manual somewhere- I've done a couple searches but all either come back empty or relating to A-10C.

 

I see "wheel brake" in the A-10A controls option- letter W... but the rudder pedals I have don't register.

 

Is this my rudder pedals acting up or is this A-10A not having this type of functionality yet?

Your rudders are an axis. You cannot assign an axis to that command.

 

EDIT: In theory, that axis should have been added with the AFM.

Okay, so we're on the same page with our thoughts on that matter. But thanks for clarifying- hopefully they'll fix that soon.

 

Wonder if that's as easy as editing a .lua in the input section to make that eligible for the axis input?

A-10A doesnt have axes for wheel brakes yet, AFAIK,.

Now if you have programmable pedals, then you could rig it so that one or both pedals produce a 'W' keypress. I should be able to do it with my Saitek's but I have never bothered.

you wouldnt have "AXIS" Sensitivity though, so you'd still have the problem of 100% or 0% Brakes.

True, but at least you can hit the 'W' key with your foot instead having to find it on the keyboard or mapping it onto your stick/throttle, where you still have the 'all or nothing' limitation.

Looks pretty easy-

 

I'm going to give it a try...

 

You could use the Saitek profile editor (right-click the rudder pedals in your systray), set the Left and Right Toes axis to bands and make 67-100% keypress W (I think it's W) for wheelbrake.
