No .. those figures were from Joystick calibration Under the Axis assignment its a whole new ball game If I click 'rescan' and then depress the left toe brake I get In 0 (always that value) OUT 13674 I then rescanned again and depressed the left toe brake and this time the OUT value was 3328 The same with the right toe brake IN is always 0 but the OUT figures varies considerably with every rescan ... I have seen 10624 and next time 2176 Does this deduce anything Pete?

Hi Pete Minimum set to zero Maximum set to 16383 This is for both the left and right toe brakes

Sorry Pete I'll check that in the morning Just for the record the aircraft is the stock FSX Beechcraft Baron 58 Cheers

Toe barkes hahaha .. it might catch on :grin:

Hi Pete Ok the readouts are now as follows:- Left Brake OUT = -16383 IN = 0 Right Brake OUT = -16383 IN = 0 No Filter They seem to be behaving themselves now apart from when I depress the toe barkes I get this approx 2 second delay before braking starts

Good afternoon Pete Ok .... I am starting to get some success .... I have been into the 'Joystick calibration' section and set the toe brakes and now the brakes come off fully once I take my feet off the pedals :smile: I have put a tick in 'filter' .. is that correct? The only thing I am experiencing now is a very short delay in the aircraft braking once I have depressed the toe brakes ..... also there is a slight tendency for the aircraft to brake to the left even though I have depressed the brakes evenly The values are as follows :- Left brake ....... In 0 Out -16383 Fliter ticked Right brake ...... In 0 Out -940 Filter ticked Also ...... Should I have the values still set in the Axis assignment section? Thanks Pete

Ok thanks for the detailed response Pete I will report back in due course

Ahhhh thanks for clarifying that Pete ... Haha .... Do you think it might sort things out? Suck it and see I guess

Good morning Pete and Paulnd Thank you for your responses .... I was beginning to think that maybe the pedals are faulty but suffice to say they have hardly been thrashed ... Hmmm interesting Paulnd .... I take it you are on about the numerical values that show up when depressing the toe brakes? But .... how do I finalise it at the value 4.734 as you suggest? Does this mean it can be fine tuned?

Hi Pete Ok .... I have connected a set of Simped pedals to my system using FSX and I am having a hell of a job configuring the toe brakes ... What's happening is the brakes stay on when I have applied them and then let my feet off the pedals If I press the period key on the keyboard this will allow the brakes to come off but as soon as I touch the pedals again they are on permenantly . Now I have tried the little trick . with raising the sensitivity slider and making sure the Null Zone is far left ... I have also tried reversing the toe brakes in the control axis section but still no joy ... I then thought let's try doing this through FSUIPC ..... but once again the brakes are staying on once I depress and release them .... Oh yes I did read on a post which could be the answer is that when a USB HID device (simped pedals in this case) is added that the firmware tells Windows 7 64 Bit that the axis should be treated as 'slider' type and NOT an 'axis' type With a slider type Windows uses one of the axis extremes as it's home position to calibrate off of. With axis type Windows uses the centre of the axis as it's home position Anyway .. I hope you have a few ideas on the way forward on this one Thanks in advance

Hi Pete Thank you for the explanation ... and a big thank you for apologising re: the original FAQ thread ... Computers eh!!!! :wink:

Hi Pete For the life of me I cannot understand any of your FAQ FSX Help Logging simconnect post I would really appreciate you spelling this out to me in VERY simple plain, 'layman terms' english ...... Thanks in advance :grin:

Hi Pete Yes it is .... We are bringing along a high end system spanning FSX over three NEC 40" LCD Panels using the Matrox TripleHead2Go module We will also have a DBox Motion platform linked to the system kindly supplied by Bob from RC Simulations, Bristol I have also decided to bring along a seperate system which will be wirelessly linked to our main system demonstrating your superb WideFS utility running FS Commander (moving map utilty) .. Look forward to meeting you Kind regards Paul Alpine

Hi Pete Okwe have managed to solve the problem .... in the end it was a case of the other end of the Com Port not connected onto the motherboard correctlyso now all is well :D :D But I would just like to sayThank you very much indeed for such a prompt and detailed replyI was most impressed !! :D Not sure if you are coming along to the Flight Sim Show in Birmingham on November 8thbut if you are then please come and say hello on our stand .. Once again Pete thank you for all your helpmuch appreciated Regards Paul Alpine

Hi Pete Thanks for the quick response .... The com port is the correct one because as I said I have had the PFC / C2 working under Vista on that actual port ...... because I started having problems with Squawkbox losing the connection to FSX and a data bridge problem with the Go Flight controls I decided to scrape/reformat Vista off the machine and start again ... The only difference this time around is that everything is set to run in adminstrator mode .... I was just thinking that because it's set to do that it might be conflicting with FSUPIC and the PFC driver .. I did carry on into FSX after it did the intial checks ...but .. alasnone of the control surfaces will move/calibrate in the test section .. Nightmare eh! Paul (Trying to keep my chin up) :D

Hi Pete ... Just wondering if you might be able to shed any light on this one .... I purchased a Precision Flight Controls C2 console approximately 18 months ago .... Recently upgraded the computer system in order to move directly over to FSX using the Windows Vista 32 Bit Home Premium platform ... The main elements of software used are as follows:- FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 installed Squawkbox 4 Flight Sim Commander ( Moving map utility) Go Flight Modules and a few addons for FSX In order to get Squawkbox 4 to work correctly everything needs to be run in Adminstrator Modewhich I have set it to and everything works fine .... However .... what I am finding is that the PFC Driver when it goes through the check list it gives me two green ticks to let me know that FSUIPC and the COM port is okbut when it checks everything else I get a list of red crosses ....... For your information I have had the C2 working on this PC I would really appreciate any ideas on what I can try to sort this problem Kind regards Paul

Hi Pete I have just loaded FlightSim Commander onto a seperate PC and the intention is to use this over a network .. Obviously I have FSX on my other PC along with the unregistered version of FSUIPC4 My question is .... do I need to purchase both WideFS and the registered version of FSUIPC4 in order to get this to work? Orcan I get away with just purchasing WideFS? Another product I am thinking of using on the seperate PC is Apollo's Flight map ...should this also be ok? Thanks in advance Pete Kind regards Paul UK
