Hi,

Is it possible to put seperate Wheel brakes on the rudder axis in combo with the rudder?

Also, my tacho's aren't functioning, ideas?

If I understand your question correctly the answer is not that I know of. I use pedals and the ruddder is one axis and the brakes the other. But then the pedals have toe brakes like the real thing. But I do not see why you could not assign a button for the brakes to get the same result.
As for the tach problem does it work at all or does it just stop for no apparent reason. If it stops working try turning on the pitot heat.

congo,

Not sure if I am reading that question right but.... the CH Pro Pedals have differerential brakes.  Push the left toe brake and only the left brakes engage (progressively based on pressure).

Is that what you mean?

best,

I basically want to assign my differential (left and right) wheel brakes to my joystick's rudder axis so they act proportionately in conjunction WITH the rudder on the same (yaw) axis.

I'm probably hoping for a bit much.....  Roll Eyes
