I'm using rudder pedals with JTL and they're working just fine. The only possibility I can think of is that there could be something weird going on behind the scenes. Do you have all your control devices set up as one hybrid controller? (Probably a 3- or 4-axis rig?) If not, I suppose it's possible that JTL might be recognizing the axis but not actually applying the control.

That's the only thing I can think of. For what it's worth, I'm using a CH Products rig, so your mileage may vary.

Do your pedals work on the desktop? Go to your control panel and find them, likely under Game Controllers, and configure them if you haven't...but I figure you have since you sound like you have used them before...

I've had experiences with games and gamepads before myself, I can tell you that sometimes they recognize the button as another button. Try pressing the corresponding button in the keymap with the one on the pad and see if it performs the function, if so then it doesn't actually recognize your pedals.

I can tell you now, though, I seriously doubt they made it with pedals in mind, that would be more work than expected considering how many people use them?

Not many, but I certainly would use them!

someone else posted about hte same issue and i believe this was the problem..

JTL can only uses 1 controler..

so if you have joystick and then a seperate set of rudders (Control #2) then it won't see the rudders..

someone mentioned that their rudders where working in the game only because the manufacturer provides the software to combine all controlers into 1 Device. essentially allowing JTL to use all the controlers..

It's possible that the someone you mentioned was me as well. I *think* Saitek's programming software allows something similar, but for CH Products, their Control Manager 3.0 software will allow you to combine multiple devices to form virtually any configuration from a 2-axis, 2-button controller to an 8-axis, 32-button controller.

Quick question for the community in hopes someone can help give me an answer. I currently have rudder pedals I would like to use in conjunction with my joystick in jtl. When I go to the keymapper, it recognizes the rudder pedals as joystick axis 3. I assign it to roll, click apply and select done. However, once I try to use the rudder pedals on my ship, it doesn't work, regardless of the fact the keymapper recognized the command. Any suggestions here as to what I may be doing wrong or something I can do to get these to work? I'm a pilot irl and would feel much more at home using the rudder pedals as opposed to the twisting joystick. Thanks for your input everyone.

Cheers,

Ok, sort of a nonsequiter, since I have no idea why it wouldn't be working if the keymap finds it... but if you're a pilot wouldn't you want the rudder pedals to control yaw and not roll? I am a big fan of flight sims, so the first thing I did in JTL was to swtich the stick axes so that left on the stick would roll me left instead of yaw left... I felt that the way it was configured by default was unnatural. Just a thought...
