Did you adjust the null zone, too? I have the CH Pro pedals and they work
fine with the various a/c including the DC-3. Did you try moving the
sensitivity to the right instead of the left?

This is annoying me in the extreme, despite having the sensitivity all
the way down the slightest movement on the rudder almost spins you off
the taxiway especially with the Cessnas. Trying to stick to the runway
centreline is almost impossible with the slightest crosswind. FS2002,

which
i still have installed, is perfectly weighted.

Anyone have a fix or is it solemthing that needs patching?

Brett,
I've adjusted every slider every way it can be adjusted. What's perplexing
is the fact that the primary joystick, yoke in this case, has the simple &
advanced menues and remains in the advanced mode when you exit and return;
however, the secondary, pedals in this case, lets you make your choices in
advanced, but reverts back to simple after you leave the menu - but,
'apparently' takes the average of the r/s brakes & rudder to reset the
simple setting - so I have no idea of what is actually getting programmed to
the contols. If this sounds stupid, it IS! I updated the CH controller mgr
to 2.1, after finding there even was a controller on the cd with the pedals
(but wasn't needed unless you couldn't 'calibrate' (?) the pedals), but the
CH controller can't even find it's own stuff (windows can), etc.., etc....
I finally found what appears to be a 'sweet spot' in the settings that
almost kinda works (more details in alt.games.m/s, etc..) .........

PS - I am NOT using a CH yoke. It's a Cirrus PFC Jet with gameport
interface (couple of years old...) with a USB adapter, so that MAY be some
of the problem with the CH manager not recognizing the primary controller,
but it would be a stretch..............

I Think the problem is with FS2004 not the controls. I have Cougar HOTAS with
elite rudder pedals and cannot keep any aircraft on the runway flying from
Flagstaff, Ariz airport due to runaway nose wheel steering. There is no
problem when departing Meigs or Phoenix sky Harbor. So I don't think there is
anything wrong with my controls. This is one that MS needs to fix
