Pete, If you're unable to see that your response was unnecessarily terse, unsympathetic, and deflected any possibility that perhaps there might be a chance that FSUIPC isn't PERFECT in every regard, then there's nothing I can say that will convince you. The input/output values are smooth from stop to stop, so there are no random values being supplied by my controller. Deadzones are setup per the instructions. All other steps in the setup guide are completed, and I've undertaken a substantial amount of troubleshooting before I ever even came here to ask for help. But I understand completely now...FSUIPC is perfect, and I'm too stupid to follow the directions correctly. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Andy. I'll go search their forum for the issue you mentioned. Hopefully that will lead to a solution. Nick

No, I already thought of that and it doesn't work. Even though the IN/OUT values appear correct in that case (smooth from 0 to -16383), in the simulator, slight pressure on the axis results in an immediate spike to about 33% travel, full depression results in about 66% travel, and upon releasing pressure, the brakes axis spikes to 100% and then gets stuck at about 33%. Well, I did follow the directions. They didn't work. I concede that it's possible that I have some hardware (pots, etc) or software issue (drivers, etc) that FSUIPC has no control over, but there's no reason to assume that I'm too stupid to read the instructions. This is the second time I've posted a question looking for assistance and I've gotten a rude response from you. Thanks. Nick

It's not as easy as it sounds. Despite numbered and amply described procedures... My Saitek rudder pedals are refusing to play nice, and I've tried everything I can think of to get them working. Like all of my other controllers, the rudder axis works fine, but the toe brakes do not function correctly. I assigned both brake axes to "Send direct to FSUIPC Calibration". At rest, the IN/OUT values in the axis assignment page read 16383/16383. However, with the a sligh movement of the axis, the value jumps to 0/0. Further movement of the axis results in linearly decreasing values until at max travel, it reads -16384/-16384. In the Calibration page, I press the Set button, depress the pedal all the way, Set the Min value, release, and Set the Max value. I then check the Rev box. The results are the same... Very slight pressure results in the axis "snapping" to almost 50% of available travel (from 16383 to a near null (0)value). The remaining 99% of physical travel on my pedals result in a linear decrease in value down to -16384. The results in the game are predictable. Slight movement of the brake pedals result in instantaneous application of 50% brake pressure. I have also tried "send to FS as a normal axis" in the assignment page, but the results are the same. I've tried setting different min/max values, I messed with the "delta" setting, and everything else I can think of, but I can't get it to work right. Any ideas? Thanks, Nick
