Rudder Pedal Issues

SS Hard Drive for CFS3

Anyone else using a solid state HD just to run CFS3. I installed mine yesterday and moved only my CFS folder on to it, Loads in less than 1/2 the time and seems to help the simulator run more smoothly.
 
It seems like it doesn't save the X/Y rudder pedal assignment. I seem to remember having to do something with the Uiesel.xml file or something like that?

I had the same problems until someone suggested adding these lines to your key assigments file (stock install in Win7: C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Combat Flight Simulator 3.0/CFS3.xca. Open with NotePad):

<Device Type="YourDevice">
<GameMode Name="Player">
<Axis ID="Rudder" Action="Set_Yaw" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
<Axis ID="X" Action="AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
<Axis ID="Y" Action="AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
</GameMode>
</Device>

Replace "YourDevice" with the name of your rudder pedals.

I'm still having issues, could someone look at my xca file and point out any obvious mistakes I may have made?

It seems to me you did not 'close' the definitions for your pedals with the </Device> tag until you entered a new device: your joystick. Now there's also other axis and buttons stuff in your rudder pedal definitions (the same that are also in your joystick definitions). Make a backup of the file first and then delete everything between <Device Type="CH PRO PEDALS USB"> and the first </Device> you encounter, just before your joystick entry, and try adding only the lines below:

<Device Type="CH PRO PEDALS USB">
<GameMode Name="Player">
<Axis ID="Rudder" Action="Set_Yaw" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
<Axis ID="X" Action="AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
<Axis ID="Y" Action="AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
</GameMode>
</Device>

You could also try the file below (I tried editing yours):

I tried the xca file you provided, but the rudder just seems to twitch on the runway when I try using the pedals.

Do the pedals need to be calibrated occasionally, like a joystick? My Sidewinder II is a bit temperamental, sometimes needs calibrating within a week, sometimes is stable for months.
 
Windows resets my joystick calibration every time I reboot, and aircraft are completely uncontrollable until I run the calibration software again.
