CH Pro-Pedals Brake Axis not functional

I’m having trouble getting my CH-Pro-Pedals Braking Axis to work properly, and I believe the issue is inside the simulator. When I depress the brake pedal, there is no response from the simulator, the axis looks constantly like https://i.imgur.com/aj3g4id.jpg . However, the simulator does recognize the movement of the rudder brake pedals, see https://i.imgur.com/SFDkesx.jpg , that is me applying full right brake - the display shown for image 1 remains though. I have attempted performing a calibration using the Windows USB Game Controller, and that has not changed anything.

Upon doing some research, I tried installing the CH Control Manager, this yielded some results - however it’s not perfect. The simulator now does recognize that the brake axis should start at 0, and is recognizing full motion - however I have SIGNIFICANT issues with reliability and connectivity. I messaged CH about this, and they told me to uninstall the program, as it is no longer maintained.
