ch pro pedals problem

[flak1962]

hi guys 

had a problem with my ch pro's , left toe brake stopped working,turned out to be a cut wire to the pot ,have now finally managed to fix this

after a lot of fiddling putting it all back together correctly, but although its working fine and calibrated in windows 10,

il2 gb settings doesnt see the brakes anymore but still recognises the rudder axis!

anyone got any ideas please?

thanks in advance

If the brakes are working in Windows calibration test (joy.cpl) no reason for don't work in the game.

 

Try renaming the file "Devices.txt" in \Data\Input\ folder.

 

And, hold brake pad pressed, open assignment window, release brake, in some controllers some axis need do the assignment inverted.

sorry dont quite understand

Sometimes you need to press and release the toe brake a few times for it to register.

 

Then check in-game to make sure it isn't reversed i.e. brake on and pressed to release.

 

When I had CH Pro pedals I had the same issue and lots of dancing around on the pedals got it to register.

yeah done all that thanks 

it wasn't ever a problem until i unplugged them to fix

them 

[flak1962]

okay tried all your suggestions and no luck yet sorry to say!

its really strange cos even the toe brake without the original problem doesnt work not registering in game at all only in win10

devices setup,and now in the ch programme too which ive just downloaded to try altho never used this before thanks anyways

cheers

You don't need CH Manager for use this pedal in Il-2 (or other flight "simulator"). will be just a complication more.

 

Again, you already check if the pedal brakes are working OK in Windows Games Controllers?

Click in Start button and type joy.cpl hit Enter for fast access.

yes have done of that and deleted ch manager now ,it was just to see if it would do anything different,but still the 

same thing going on wont recognise toe brakes at all no matter how much you try ,rudder axis works fine!

dont know else to do now it kind of spoils my setup without them!

You don't answer if brake pedals pads work in Windows Game Controllers (joy.cpl), if don't work there will not work in any game.

 

if work, take nome of the brake pads axes.

 

Open the file current.action (with Notepad) located in game folder... \Data\Input, locate this lines.

 

rpc_yaw,                                          joy2_axis_z,                                      0| // Plane control: yaw

 

Take of of joystick name, if joy2 like above or joy1, joy3... This is the number that game give for your rudder pedal.

 

Then find the lines:

 

rpc_wheel_brakes_left,                                                                                0| // Left wheel brakes
rpc_wheel_brakes_right,                                                                              0| // Right wheel brakes

 

And change for:

 

rpc_wheel_brakes_left,                            joy2_axis_x,                                      0| // Left wheel brakes
rpc_wheel_brakes_right,                          joy2_axis_y,                                      0| // Right wheel brakes

 

In joy2_axis_x use the  joy number you see in Yaw, may are different of the example.

 

Save and test brakes in game.

 

If work but brake axes end inverted, change the number in 0| // Left wheel brakes for  1| // Left wheel brakes, same for Right wheel brakes. If are 1 change to 0.

What was the solution?

[MSgt_Cooter]

FWIW... this worked for me

Hold Toe Brake down (on CH Rudders)... THEN click the box in "Key Mapping" to set the control.  After you click, pump the brake a couple times.

deleted ch manager

IIRC, Ch Manager removal requires that one follow a certain process, as it doesn't, "just uninstall".
