WWPlague Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Since my Hoffman rudder pedals are not USB, but plug into the Cougar joystick, I have to use the Foxy software to calibrate the pedals. They no longer give me full left right deflection during setup, maybe only 40% of the total on each side. Never can get going straight enuf on takeoff to roll straight, crosswinds are hell. Forgot that keyboard x and y are also rudder input in BOS, so didnt try that, was pissed that I have broken digital rudder pedals. Tried plugging pedals into a different cougar joystick, didnt help, so its the output of the hall sensor or IC, thats faulty me thinks. I gave away a set of USB CH pro pedals, might see if I can get them back. I do have a set of Thrustmaster Mark II gameport pedals that are analog output, so a Rockfire gameport to USB adaptor may work, to turn them into USB and use them. Hoffmans are digital output, so no plug and play adaptor will work, maybe a Bodnar adaptor would work, but it means cutting off the Hoffman gameport connector and wiring up the Bodnar. Something Im not ready for, with my spine as bad as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Ugh, that sucks Plague!! I'm really sorry, if I had a spare set I'd ship them off ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWPlague Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 I finally got it straightened out. Foxy software Axis setup and Axis shaping tabs. Unbelieveable how easy it is to take off straight now that I have full rudder deflection. Happy happy that I didnt have bad Hoffman F16 rudders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWCraven Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I have a set of CH pedals you can have if you want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWPlague Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Thanks for the offer Craven, I finally won the battle with the setup software, so its all good. Damn, had to break down and read the instructions, nobody saw me, so dont think I lost any points off my 'man card', for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWPlague Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Ok, ok, I got caught. Remember I just read SOME of the instructions, and never once did I have to borrow tools from my neighbor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWDubya Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 OK, there are provisions for reading instructions: They are read out of order, and discarded as irrelevant to the current operation Read out of context so as to prove a contrary point of interest Scanned to get your wife off your back Read by accident and immediately forgotten There may be others, but these are the ones I use most often.

WWZed Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 In Canada we get them in English and French. Discard the English and keep the French around in case the wife asks if you saw them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWICYtheDEAD Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I always look at instructions as another man's opinion, and I don't need that! But if caught looking at instructions I'll say out loud so everyone can hear, SEE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
