Hey all,
I’m trying to replace my Logi Rudder Pedals with MFG ones - the look and feel is really fantastic, and I’d enjoy the even more, if I would manage to make the rudder work.
Went through all posts here mentioning the MFGs but no luck for me.
I’ve done the assignment correctly, Left Brake Axis to X, Right Brake Axis to Y and Rudder Axis to Z. In the Setup Screen I can see the movements of the white bars while pushing the pedals and/or brakes
Also setting the sensitivity shows the movements on the respective graphs
But when using this with any plane, the brakes work, but the rudder does not. When zooming into the pedal area inside the plane, I can see the pedal tips moving while pushing the pedals, but nothing moves when pushing the pedals.
Interestingly though that if I use a plane with rudder-aileron coupling and pushing the pedals the yoke starts to turn left or right correctly due to the coupling, but no movement on the rudder…
I’m really desperate now, because it’s now some days that I am searching, trying and failing
Any help out there?
Best
Cris
Hi Cris,
I’ve just bought the crosswinds too. Can I ask, did you calibrate the pedals using MFG calibration tool before setting them up in MSFS. I understand they don’t work properly if you don’t calibrate them and save the calibration in the MFG tool.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Maybe check that you don’t have any other controller axis or button(s) mapped to rudder commands, as the behaviour you are seeing might result from conflicting controller inputs.

Hi Steve,
thanks for your reply. And yes, I’ve checked the status in the MFG Configurator and alo calibrated them within the tool, and only within the tool.
And as mentioned, if I move the pedals within the configuration tool in MSFS, I can see the white bar moving, and also in the sensitivity control. It’s only that they simply don’t move the rudder at all
Kind regardds,
Cris
I’ll bet you haven’t turned rudder assistance off.

Hi,
this has been my first idea as well, but no - no other controller uses this axis, so no blocking/conflicting inputs. but thanks for your input
Hmm - nope, as if so, it would not be working properly with the old Logi Rudder Pedals neither, but thanks for the idea
Both my Crosswind v2, and v3 work okay. Your settings look right though, in that you have axes bound, and not on/off commands.

As MSFS is apparently seeing the movement of the pedals, but not the aircraft, have you tried running this with only the essential addons in your community folder?
Oh and make sure you try with more than just one aircraft, to make sure that it is your pedals that are the problem.

Hi all,
problem solved - I really should think of giving my pilot licenses back and never again fly in real life again…
This is a classic PEBCAK - Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard. I‘ve been looking at the config literaly a thousand times, but could not find any problem…
Only today I realised, that I‘ve bound the z-axis to the aileron-axis (Seitenruder in German) instead of the rudder (Querruder). This is the reason, why the yoke in the cockpit, and the ailerons on the plane were moving, and not the rudder.
The only excuse - if there is any - is, that all my pilot training was in English and not in German, and that I‘ve done the change of config somewhen late at night.
Many thanks to all of you, who tried to help me with this no-problem.
After I‘ve changed the binding to the correct control-surface, everything worked like charm…
As a consequence, I have changed the language back to English
Thank you, and have always enough wind underneath your wings - virtually and irl

Sorry, I should have picked up on this. I did read the line below, which is why I suggested you might have the rudder assist on, which links rudder to aileron input, for those without rudder pedals I’ve never used it myself. I misread it as you moving your yoke, but now that I read it again your feet are moving the yoke in the virtual cockpit, and I should have realised from that!
Glad you got it working in the end.
