Is there a way to to a factory re-calibration of CH Pro Pedals? I'm not getting the full 0-255 reading anytime I calibrate with Windows or CH manager. I know some other controllers have a factory/hardware calibration mode.

How do I set this wheel up in MSFS2020? I have the version without sensitivity knob. I looked here: https://flightvelocity.com/products/flight-velocity-trim-wheel-pro but FS2020 shows -100% to 0 and 0 to +100% separate, not -100 to 100%. It also refuses to assign Axis X, only axis -x or +x. What results in very slow moving constantly until it is max or minus, although I just moved the wheel a little, and I get no white bar to check movements. (I first want to use this method in the sim, alternative is SPAD.next what I cannot work fine enough at the moment).

Been shopping around for a head tracking program and gave some serious thought to TrackIR since it has a proven track record (sorry, not sorry, for the pun). Then I discovered Tobii (https://gaming.tobii.com/products/). I have to admit, I'm *very* intrigued by the idea of it using eye gaze to track instead of head movements. That would be such a game changer. It's not, of course, cheap, as it clocks in at $230. MSFS, alas, doesn't support it but according to the feedback charts, it's certainly being looked into. In fact, rumor is that they will include support for it after all. Obviously I'm not going to buy it until it's definitely confirmed and installed, but …

I have had my CH Products USB Yoke and Pedals for over 10 years. With MSFS 2020, they seem to be more erratic than in FSX. I am just wondering if the controls need some kind of maintenance / cleaning done to them. Or are there extra tweaks that need to be done on the control’s configuration panel. Thanks!

Logitech told me at this time they have not updated their software to work with P3D v5.2. Other sites recommend FSUIPC. I NO NOTHING about this software; can't find any instructions on how to use it. Looking at their site it looks overly complex. I'm not a computer wiz! Can anyone help me with this problem. Thanks, Pat

I have not used MSFS 2020 sim in awhile. I updated it to world 6. Now when I use my Alpha yoke switches the landing lights are backwards and the strobe. Beacon and nav work ok. I was using FBW A320. I removed my add ons from the community folder and tried the default MSFS airbus. Same thing. I disabled the yoke and I can now use the cockpit switches with the mouse. I reinstalled the Honeycomb software, changed bindings to off and on. No luck. I don't understand what is wrong. Thanks for any help Before I updated it, everything worked fine. Greg

Anyone ever had a problem with their rudder pedals, where pushing one pedal also activated its toe-brake? (with heels on the floor, definitely not moving the actual toe-brake) I have Ruddo+ pedals from Virtual Fly, which have worked great for several months. "Suddenly" they've become unusable: Whenever I touch the left rudder-pedal, it activates the left toe-brake completely and immediately. The right pedal seems to work as expected. I've tried a few solutions, like unplugging it, re-calibrating it in the VF software, and recalibrating it in Windows. No matter what I do, the left pedal activates the left toe-brake 100%, even with my heels on the floor and …

Good afternoon everybody i am looking for help regarding the hardware named in the title of this topic. I actually have these hardware listed: n 1 Vhf n 1 Nav n 1 Adf n 1 CIM 2 (conversion card in usb) n ° 1 power supply. Everything works, in the sense that it is fed correctly. The numbers in the various LED segments are also displayed. However, I cannot find the software to be able to communicate with the simulation software. Usage: W10 operating system Prepar3d v 4.5 Pmdg 737 Ngx Fsuipc6 Mobiflight (for mcp and efis components) I thank everyone in advance for any information you can give me.

Dear forum, I am making my first attempts with configuring GF modules for my PMDG 737. Setting: Win 10, FSX, PMDG 737NG, GF-GIT (Pollypot), each with current updates. I generally want: switch down = function on + LED on. Now I have the following questions or problems: 1. Most of the light switches with a GF-T8 work as wanted and were uncomplicated to build. However I have problems with the POS/STROBE lights, because if switch is up (off) the LED is on. The reverse command does not help here. (I know that in reality this switch has three positions and works in a more complex way). My actual configuration: switch ON + EVT_OH_LIGHTS_POS_STROBE + ONOFF + DATA…

Hi amazing tech people, I have a VRinsight CDU II module which i’d love to use on MSFS. I can get the screen of the FMC to go onto it (kinda) but cannot work out a way to map the buttons. I have purchased FSUIPC7 and am wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of setting it up to allow me to use it in MSFS or if you know of any youtube videos/walkthroughs on how to do it. Thanks a million, Michael

Hey guys. I have the Crosswind's and love them. Very well made. I happened to stumble across the damper kit and wondering how exactly it changes the feel of the pedals. Any comments from people who have it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Following on from my other poll about our sim setups, I wanted to find out what equipment we all use to fly. There is no commercial background to this, I am simply genuinely interested to see what kind of equipment we all use. I am limited by the amount of sections I can add. Also please note that this is only about yokes, flightsticks, HOTAS, pedals, Track-IR and VR, nothing else! Thank you for sharing!

Does the Honeycomb yoke stay where you put it or does it return to center like a joystick?

xBox is the cheapest way by far to get setup with MSFS hardware. A good way to get other people interested in flight simulation. The very inexpensive Thrustmaster HOTAS One is throttle, stick, and rudder all in one. Even the mount (for sitting on the couch) can be made quick and cheap, if you have a saber saw or a hacksaw wood blade and a small piece of plywood. I would add some stick on sheets of green felt on the bottom of the board (stationary or home improvement store).

Hi Guys' I've done a few searches and drawn a blank so I'm asking here I have a bravo throttle quadrant and the alpha yoke so as some of the switches are duplicated I've removed the duplicates from the BTQ. I have then changed a couple of the switches that make things easier for me,but now the led switch combo's are messed up. I have one switch that I have changed for parking brake on and off but when i select this my anti ice light illuminates. How do I change the led so that they read correctly when I switch something on or off. All the lights do work but not with my switch combo's Cheers

Hi All Just completed the 6 hour download and installation and itching to try out FS2020. However, althought my Saitek X52 Stick & HOTAS is seen by FS2020, there appear to be no assignments. Completely blank. Is anyone else using an X52 seeing the same thing? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Newbie here. I got the BBI-32 http://leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=205 board for rotary encoders with push in wire connectors. Excellent device and almost instantly configured with xplane on Linux. The push in connectors work with bread board wires but dupont male pins are too short and the plastic blocks full insertion. Any other wiring alternatives? I have about 50 wires to run so reluctant to use single strands which also forces soldering on the rotary encoders v's dupont wiring to headers on the encoders. Dupont with extra long pins would be ideal.

Hi guys I am considering buying this yoke, however I watched a video on Youtube posted today where the user had quite a large deadzone on this yoke. Specifically see 12:00 and 16:50. As I am thinking of buying this because of the large deadzone in my Saitek, this seems to be a bit of a concern. Would anyone like to please comment on the deadzone of their Honeycomb? Many thanks in advance. John

Just what the subject line says. I fly a lot of IFR in MSFS, so obviously I use autopilot pretty much all the time. Just trying to decide if it's worth spending $150 on and whether or not it's proven to be functional with MSFS. I consider this to be (probably) the last piece of hardware I'll need to complete my sim experience. Link to product here for clarity's sake: https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/flight/flight-simulator-autopilot-multipanel.945-000028.html
