Hi All,
What do computers and air conditioners have in common?Image
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

Hi Skittles, funny you should bring this up. I am running the Cougar Thrustmaster HOTAS throttle and Stick. I am also using CH Pro Pedals. The problem is the pedals never seam to steer the AC correctly on the runway. I have tried everything but every time I am rolling down the runway or just taxiing, it is a real nightmare to control the AC on the ground. I noticed last night that when playing with the calibration, that the X & Y axis when calibrating the pedals, seems to be wrong.
If I push a pedal 1 way, the axis should respond like it does, but if I push the other pedal the either way, shouldn't the SAME axis respond the opposite way. Should pedal 1 be on x axis and pedal 3 on y. They are going two totally different ways. And when calibrating, why is the center cross hair even moving. It is getting very annoying. Does this make sense Joe?

Thanks,
Dave
COMING SOON!

Can't tell by your sig what connection your pedals are, PC Game port or USB. Do they have toe brakes? Are your breaks having problems?

My pedals have the "rudder" on X and the toe brakes on Y. Left brake moves the crosshair up and right moves it down.

Are you using FSUIPC. Is it possible something there is mixing up the signals? Are you using the Windows calibration or CH's Calibration?
