How To Map Both Wheel Brakes to One Axis

[SAG]

Happy New Year Everyone!

 

I would like to use both wheel brakes, left and right, to the twist axis on a joystick so that when I turn left, I brake left and vice-versa.

 

But even with 100% deadzone, I still get some breaking when I leave the twist axis centered which would be very bad for take offs.

 

Any ideas on how to get this done? 

I was thinking on increasing the "deadzone" value beyond 100% directly on whatever cfg file contains this information but I haven't found it yet.

Any help would be appreciated

Hey SAG, long time no see, how's the Colombian summer treating you?........................ 

I don't think you will be able to get it to work very well, even if you could put a centering into the axis I'm afraid one direction would be Inc and the other Dec...

 

You need pedals dude!...............

What about the 'Wheel Brakes' command, directly above the 'Left Wheel Brake' command? This should do exactly what you are asking for, as it is meant for the Russian and British aircrafts with their single brake lever at the stick.

Hey Hoss! It's been too long, perhaps we can fly again some time, I'm mostly on Finnish...

Summer's great here, how are you?

 

I have pedals but they don't have toebrakes, What I do have is a spare "paddle" on my throttle that's an Axis with a center. You are right in saying that one would input would be included in the other but with deadzones I can make it so it doesn't. problem is, deadzone only goes so far in the game's interface so I'm wondering if where the file is on my PC to see if I can go beyond 100% via that.

This one works great for planes without toebrakes, but on 109s for example, it only brakes both feet regardless of the direction of my pedals.

Thanks Cardboard, but the app mentioned in that thread I can't seem to find online.

Sorry to hear. This is very odd. It worked in the old IL-2, where I used it. It is pretty poor, that this game doesn't offer this workaround for players without rudder pedals.

As the toe brake wires failed on my CH pedals long ago, I use the Russian/British system across the board for all aircraft, and it works just fine.

I remember that when I pressed the breaks and moved the rudder, the corresponding toebrake would "auto-activate" but that doesnt happen anymore, it stopped working some time ago. The break button just activates both brakes regardless of the direction of the pedals.

That is really odd. Maybe you have a control bind conflict?

If nothing else works, you could map the left and right toe brakes to the hat switch 315 and 45 degree positions respectively.

I tried playing around with the values in "current.map" in the inputs folder and when i reverted back to my backup files it started working like we mentioned above! thanks for the help.

Glad you have it sorted.
