I have looked at other watercooler posts and havnt found no answer to my problem. I just got the Saitek Pro Rudder and yoke systems the other day and used them for the first time today. When i started using the rudder pedals i noticed that when the parking brakes are off the brakes icon will appear in the bottom of the screen of my FS9. When i tap on the toe brakes the differental brake icon appears. If i push bith toe brakes down it will brake. So when taxying i have to push down one toe brake to get it to go to differental brakes so i can move. Is there any way i can make it to were i just push down the toe brake to get it to brake no to have to get it to differential brake?

Yes, i am not touching the toe brakes it will automaticaly brake, if i push down one toe brake it will go to differential brakes, if i push both brakes down it will just brake. I have to push one toe brake down for it to go to differential brakes so i can taxi, which is very annoying.

The need calibration. You can try calibrating them via FS and then try adjusting the null zones and sensitivities
If that doesn't work then a registered copy of FSUIPC will do the trick for sure.

You have to adjust the sensitivity and I think the null zone stuff in the settings of the controller in FS2004... I bought the Saitek pedals and had the same issue and with a bit of playing around, was able to fix it.
On a side note, they quit working after 2 months. Even though they are warrantied for 2 years I think, I just went out and bought the CH pro pedals, which I like much better (My previous pair were CH Products, tried the Saitek and didn't care of em as much as the CH products one)

I completely agree with George.. CH pedals are superior to the Saitek.. not so with the yoke tho..
for us pro pilots.. saitek yoke and CH pedals.. hands down.

Go into settings, control axes, under controller type highlight Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals, then go to Brake right and left axis and click the reverse box.

I am thinking of getting the combination of both the Yoke with the Throttle quad and the pedals.
But i have a few questions
1. Can u use the throtthle as a multi engine and have 1 lever for engine 1 and the other for 2?
2. Does the reverse thrust operate individually for both engines?
3. Can the flaps or spoiler be operated by one of these levers?
i would apreciate the help as i am undecided been reading a lot of good reviews and im thinking about getting it
Thanks

I assumed you were using FSX, so I'm not familar with FS9, try setting the null zone to zero on the brake pedals. Yes you can set the levers for what ever you want. I use the three lever setup for engines 1 & 2 and the third for the flaps but with reverse checked so that it works opposite of the throttle position (which I believe it is in r/w). Then set the buttons for gear, spoiler arm, etc.
Hope it helps.
