Brake Release Issue / P3d 5.3

[bhorv67]

Hi - using a registered latest version for P3d 5.3

Having trouble tracking this down - Haven't made any changes in FSUIPC, yet this issue started happening ironically around the same time FSDT was releasing a lot of updates to GSX, can't see how that would affect anything, but...

So what's happening is I can apply brakes (L or R or Both) from by rudder pedals, the brakes do apply, but won't release. The only way to release is to press the '.' key. 

I've tried assigning the brake assignments in FSUIPC either as a direct P3d assignment or via FSUIPC. In the calibration area, I can see the pedals going from 0-to full value, then to 0. I've tried 'Rev'. 

There's no orphan assignments in the axis settings in p3d.

Will happen on default as well as 3rd party AC.

Not sure what's going on here, but making me nuts. Appreciate any help, thanks

This sounds like the rudder axis has been changed to a digital on/off axis in the registry. See the following FAQ entry to resolve this:

Thanks - I'll give this a try. 

Any thought as to why this suddenly happened? I've had these pedals for years with no issue. No changes that I'm aware have been made to my configuration.

No, sorry, but this has been reported before, but not sure what can cause this...

Thanks, this worked. Finding the PID for my device was simple. Once the registry entries were rebuilt, brake functions normally.

Appreciate the help.
