Thanks. I will give it a try

Decided to dismantle the pedals. 24 screws later I was looking at the inner workings. Scratched my head for a while and eventually identified the Z axis potentiometer. Fiddled with it a little bit and quickly realised that one of three wires was unconnected. Ureka!
Phoned a neighbour with a soldering iron and he did a job on it. Before he arrived, I had to strip the insulation back on the tiny wire. Got it wrong a few times but the wire was still just long enough.
Reasembled it and put it to the Test. It worked!!!..for 10 seconds and then it broke again. With the wire a little bit shorter now It must have been hit by the mechanism and ripped off again 
Gonne have to wait for a new one, which has now been delayed till Monday

Ah, yes. I was initially unsure about opening up all the screws to get inside. But after seeing your comment I decided to give it a go, and indeed, there was one wire that had snapped of its connection. I cut some of the wire end out of the insulation and attempted to solder it back in place. I reinforced it with the a bit of hot glue on the insulation. Tested on the computer and the z-axis is back! It seems as there is another set of wires/cables that rubs these connects when you move the z-axis motion (which is not a great design). I tried to position the wires to best avoid friction but wouldnât be surprised if it ended up happening again⊠I appreciate the insight! Happy flying!

Good Story. I know the wires you mean. They are the ones that feed up the pedals to the pots of the toe brakes. What I couldnât understand was that there seemed to about 4 cores close together and all uninsulated. My electronics knowledge isnât sufficient to understand that one.
Glad you sorted it.
EDIT Those cables couldnât been part of the electrical circuitry as I cant recall them being connected to anything. Their purpose remains a mystery.

Same here, I have a set of hand-built pedals that work fine in everything else, but FS24. Flight Simulator shows the pedals, and it shows the correct axis, but moving the pedals shows no movement on the screen. The pedals work fine under USB Game controllers and other games. Frustrating.
I also have Logitech pedals and for both HID and USB I have installed the driver without the Logitech software. The driver version is 8.0.116.0.
Pedals work flawlessly, for example, with the Cessna 172.
FYI, please do not confuse the driver version with the application version as these are two different versions.
I have the problem, that my Saitek Rudders are not able to go to a neutral possition. All is set right in the controler settings, but they are not coming to neutral. Any ideas? Thx for some help.
Maybe adding a small deadzone in configuration will help on the axis to center.
Similar outcome for me to what everyone is experiencing. My pedals worked fine in MSFS2024 for a couple of days then stopped working. Not sure why, the the sim is not even recognising them. any tip would be appreciated
My situation is similar but a little different than yours. My pedals worked fine until Patch #3 and then they quit working. Sim recognizes the pedals and I can assign the axis, but they donât work on the plane. I would also appreciate any tips.
Thereâs a design defect - no strain relief on the USB cable. When mine started acting up, I disassembled them, the wires hadnât yet broken, so reassembled and added an external strain relief to both sets (2 sets for pilot and copilot).
Mine were working, then they stopped working after I did a mass driver update. MSFS24 no longer recognized my pedals.
What it was, was my driver wasnât playing well with the memory integrity setting. In windows 11, search for âcore isolationâ in your start menu. On the panel that pops up, toggle âmemory integrityâ off. I think you need to reboot. See if that helps. It solved it for me.
Cheers.
I had this when I updated to windows update 2024H2. Was fixed by installing Flight_Rudder_Pedals_x64_8.0.134.0.exe
You can then leave memory integrity setting onâŠwhich is good.
I had the memory integrity errors in Windows security on my Saitek rudder pedals as I couldnât find a driver other than the one that was installed by windows (SaiH0763.sys).
Iâm on Windows 11 24H2 and there didnât appear to be any updated Saitek drivers.
I finally solved it by manually removing the SaiH0763.sys file from the 2 locations I found from a file explorer search. (I made a note of where they were and copied them to a USB drive in case I needed to reinstate them).
N.B. I had to change the file explorer permissions to remove them otherwise it wouldnât let me delete them.
I then downloaded the Windows 10 drivers from here (there are no Win11 drivers listed but the Windows 10 ones work ok)âŠ
Downloads - Flight Rudder Pedals â Logitech Support + Download.
Rebooted and I can now use the pedals and leave the memory integrity settings on.
