Read it, try it.. ;o) Any questions?? Please drop a post.. Regards Mikael K --------------- I have also been playing around with the pedals lately, as I am lucky to have the Logitech Wingman Formula Wheel with pedals attached. And inspired by all the latest postings about rudder-control and helos, I wanted to try rudder-control by pedals During my 'research' I have also read the FS9-document how to get pedals to work as rudder from MS, and as you did I also find it a bit unclear what to do about the basics... But... I have now managed to make a setup, where the rudder (and rear rotor on helos) are going back to 'neutral' when releasing the pressure on either pedal... For my 'Flight-stick' I am using a Logitech Wingman Force Feedback Joystick. Both controllers are connected with USB, and I am NOT using the Logitech Profiler software to assign controls. I will now try to explain what I did, to get rudder/rear rotor control with the pedals...: With the joystick and wheel/pedals connected and calibrated, the only change I had to make from the default setup, was to adjust the way pedals worked via 'Game Controllers' in the 'Control Panel'. Under 'Settings' in 'Properties' for the wheel, I did select 'Use pedals as...' to 'Combined (Single-axis)'. Then in FS9 I navigated to the 'Joystick Axis'-tab under 'Controls' - 'Assignments' And by selecting the wheel under 'Joystick Type' (NOT first selecting slew-mode, which I think is a misguiding from the editor of the support-doc), I just assigned the 'Rudder Axis' to the pedals, by selecting the axis and pressing either of the pedals ('Combined pedals' is now showing as selected axis). I did also checked the 'Reverse', in order to make the A/C go right when I press the right pedal, and vise versa... I then also removed any other unwanted control-assignments from the wheel, as Aileron- and Elevator-axis, to eliminate possible influence, like from a not-centered wheel, on the control of the A/C. And that was it... Out on the air-strip, up in the Cessna, and of I took with 'real' rudder-steering by feet on the taxi-way and in the air.. All I have to do now, is to remember to disable 'Auto rudder' under realism, when I want to fly with pedals.. I hope this makes sense to you, or just speak up, and I will try to explain myself better... ;o) Regards Mikael K -- Sorry.. no direct reply-email.. ;o) |
