Permanent brakes on with saitek yoke , rudder pedal and throttle

Post by Dreamliner01 »

Hi guys , i just bought a “saitek yoke and throttle and rudder pedals” so after i installed everything and tried my PMDG737 , i dont understand why my brake is permanently on even though i use the rudder pedal to turn it off or used the yoke brakes to turn it off even i used keyboard and mouse to manually turn off the brakes but it still permanent on , any fix for this?

In your mapping of the brake pedals you must tick reverse function for them to work correctly..

No the setting is the same , you have to go to Controls , select the axis assignment, then select the pedals and assign the toe brakes and tick reverse..

I periodically have the same problem with my Saitek. Not sure what causes it but the only way I can resolve it is CTRL-SHIFT-E to go to avatar view and then CTRL-SHIFT-E to go back to cockpit and the brakes should "reset".

Hi goodwin,

Have you tried calibrating your device from within Prepar3D via Options > Controls > Calibration > Calibrate Device?

Thanks.
