Problem with rudder pedals

Postby Robban_Sweden » Sat Dec 30, 2006 11:28 am

Hi!

I have a problem with my CH PRO Pedals. They just work sometimes.
Sometimes I can't steer with them at all, sometimes I can turn for maybe a second or two and then the nosewheel just goes back to straight by it self, and it does this over and over.
I've tried to disconnect them from the USB and connect them again, no differense, I've tried calibrating and nothing seems to make any differense.

Any ideas?

Hmm...have you tried reinstalling your drivers. If worst comes to worst the sensor could be failing. I recently had that problem with my Saitek X45.

No, haven't tried that. Forgot to mention one thing though... The toe-braking function work all the time, it's just the rudders that don't work.

Try doing a full reinstall of the drivers. And even with the toe breaking working that dosn't mean that the actual sensor for the rudders is. Same with a stick. All the buttons work, but the stick dosn't center.

The other possibility is a broken wire with intermittent connectivity. This normally occurs where the wire leaves the device and gets bent often, thus work hardening or simply breaking. Shortening the wire past the break and resoldering the wires works. A multimeter is used to test continuity of each wire to diagnose this.

I think the problem is somewhere inside Flight Simulator, because the rudders work perfectly when calibrating them. If there were some kind of connection problem they wouldn't work there either, would they?

Tried deleting the assignment for rudder control that I had on the throttle control of my Saitek X45 but no differense.
There is another strange thing to, the brakes go on after a little while when trying to steer with the rudders.
This is annoying.

Think I resolved it.

I deleted the FS9.cfg file and let FS9 create a new one. It seems to be working now...keep you fingers crossed.
