This was the correct answer. What did the trick for me:
- Clicking “Reset to default” in the game controller calibration.
- Re-installing MS FS2020
If I didn’t re-install, everything in the controls options setup looked fine, the toe brakes smoothly went from 0 to max when testing. However, when in the cockpit, (cessna 152), pressing toe brakes resulted in very jittery behavior and the brakes started out fully depressed.
Thanks! I spent way to much time tying to figure out this problem.
