I have replaced my rudder pedals with the Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals in FS2004 from the CH Products pedals - FS2004 shows the proper pedals in the joysticks section of the controllers. I have rudders and differential brakes, but when I have release the brakes, the brake light stays on...
Anyone have this issue and know how to fix it?
Thanks

Hi George,
Try to calibrate the differential brakes axis, don't know if Saitek uses a custom program or Windows default program for axis calibration.
Regards

Try reversing the axis as well as calibrating it?

George, this is a know problem with them. The saitek forum answers this...let me see if I can find it again from when I had the problem. It has to do with how you set up your sliders for sensitivity and null zone.

EDIT: Here you go --> http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=14907 Third or 4th post down. Also, I believe you have to click the reverse button. I can help you out more when I get home.
Have fun!

^^Ditto^^
Mine came in 3 days ago, and I had the same problem. What I had to do, was press disable joystick, and then program everything thru FSUIPC, as it will override the default FS settings.

Yes - and MAKE SURE you delete the FS settings for the Rudders and Yoke....sometimes there can be a conflict btwn FSUIPC and FS Settings and the SAITEK software. I don't use the Saitek software.

Sorry so late replying back on this - got them to work - as the link Chris provided stated - set the sensitivity to FULL and the null to zero and it worked like a champ (In the FS2004 settings for sensitivities) - thanks
