Saitek rudder peddles?

I'll be reciveing my ETO disks thanks to cristiano103 and have already got a clean CFS3 and want to use my rudder peddles but cant seem to be able to assign them. Does anyone know how to do this?
 
Bombs,

Make sure you have your programming software running for the Saitek units. Then launch cfs3 and click the main menu for control commands. (under f10) THen go into your control surface options and find the rudder commands. Click them and then set it look for a new axis. THen move the control that you want to assign...lef rudder and so forth. If it comes out 180 degrees out of phase, move it in the other direction when you sample it. If none of these work, you need to set your software to send a keystroke instead. I use keystrokes for my toe brakes. About 15 each axis. Post back if you need more help. Also, are you running Vista or XP? This can make a difference in how the OS "sees" the usb devices. I remember old Mig Alley can not see enough axes available in the newer OSs such that my rudder set up was weirded out.
 
Thanks, I'm running vista32. Been tryign to assign the peddles through the control panel where display option and such. Will F10 make a difference?
 
Yes,

Sometimes it's easier to set them up independently for each game, in game so you don't have to keep loading new profiles. use F10 in the main menu to call up the menu in the upper right corner. Then chose the control options. Then axis commands and then start choosing them and moving your axes. You shoudl get an idea how it works.

In control panel, just make sure it's visible and responding properly to default DirectX inputs on utton numbers and axes. Dont' try anythign special there.

Keep at it.
 
Open up your control settings xca file (application data, etc, etc) with notepad, and add these lines at the end:

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

When you open it, these will be the last three lines.

</GameMode>
</Device>
</Mappings>

Stick it in between </Device> and </Mappings> Should do the trick.
 
Tried but it wont work here is how I have it. Could there be a letter or something out of place or a space needs to be in there somewhere?

</GameMode>
<GameMode Name="Gunner">
<Axis ID="X" Action="TraverseGun" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
<Axis ID="Y" Action="ElevateGun" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
</GameMode>
</Device>
<Device Type="Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals">
<GameMode Name="Player">
<Axis ID="X" Action="AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
<Axis ID="Y" Action="AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
<Axis ID="Rudder" Action="Set_Yaw" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
</Mappings>
 
Update. changed to this
</GameMode>
</Device>
<Device Type="Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals">
<GameMode Name="Player">
<Axis ID="X" Action="AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
<Axis ID="Y" Action="AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
<Axis ID="Rudder" Action="Set_Yaw" Scale="64" Nullzone="36"/>
</GameMode>
</Device>
</Mappings>

But still no go. Any ideas?
 
Do you have your axes mapped at all in saitek? YOu shoudl be able to call them from game if not. go into cfs3 open the main menu upper right (f10) control options. and try there, THey shoudl at least be called or sampled in some way. Any other game controllers or usb devices connected?
