I just purchased Saitek Pro rudder pedals. Had to go to Saitek web site to register. After installation my rudders deflected, left toe brake operated ailerons and right toe brake operated rudders. A very wild ride insued. I went back to Saited and spent 1-1/2 hours with a tech who was not well versed with FS9 but was more of an FSX tech. We went to remote assistence. Thank you very much. Back to flying now. During taxi and applying brakes, the brakes stay on. I have to go ctl+. then just the period key. I am computer ill-literate. Any ideas to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Or back to the tech.

I have them. I have tried to set up the toe brakes, but they have never worked. I just don't use them and use the brakes on my Saitek yoke. That's the easiest thing to do, really.

If you go into the control configurations inside FS9. There's a slider next to the brakes function that says something to the effect of "repeat" I believe that slider has to be all the way to the left. Otherwise, with the slider all the way to the right it tells flightsim to continuously apply the brake function after the toe brakes on your rudder pedals are pressed just once.

In order to get them to work you have to do the following:
1. Go to Settings, then Assignments (under controls), then go to the Joystick Axes tab.
2.Then select 'Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals' under Joystick type.
3. Set up the axes for the left and right toe brakes.
4. Click the checkbox next to each of these axes. This will reverse the axis and they will work properly.
5. If you are still having problems, turn the sensitivity for each of the axes up; this should fix any further problems.

Note: This is all covered in the documentation that comes with them.
