Windows fix #1, reboot 3 times and see if it’s still happening……
I have used CH Pedals since Day 1 of MSFS.
They should appear automatically in Controls where you can then adjust axis and sensitivities. If it is not recognised then unplug and plug in again. If that doesn’t work I don’t know, but you don’t need CH Manager
I had nothing but issues with CH Manager. I ended up uninstalling it and deleting references to it in the registry. After that all my sims worked fine. IL2, MSFS, etc. I did take it apart and clean the potentiometers at one point but otherwise they have been working well.
I have an update to my CH pedals problem I replaced the potentiometer and the issue is resolved.
It was odd how Microsoft flight simulator 2020 was showing symptoms but DCS world was not. Eventually DCS world started showing the same symptoms. That apparently Microsoft flight simulator 2020 is more sensitive? I really don’t know…. it was quite odd but anyway replacing the potentiometer fixed the issue.
