Toe brake axis behaves irrationally, non linearly. Unusable

:wave: Thank you using the Bug section, using templates provided will greatly help the team reproducing the issue and ease the process of fixing it.

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

Yes, but only for FPS counter, no Dev options are selected.

Yes

Brief description of the issue:

Toe brakes axes does not work logically, linearly. They do not start all the way off (or on if set to reversed), moving a brake axis the pedal on an aircraft will move and then about half way through the range the pedal reverses and moves the other way. I’ve tried this using a toe brake axis on my Virpil ACE pedals and using a throttle lever on my Honeycomb Bravo Throttle and they act the same way. The white bar in the settings or the graph in the Sensitivity settings shows the correct reading, moves linearly across the full range as the axis moves. But the braking action and position of the aircraft’s pedals in the sim show the non linear behavior. The Virpil software shows the correct values when moving the axis. The label for the axis will show white by default like it’s a button being pressed, goes grey mid way of axis movement then goes white again as the full movement of the axis is approached. Come on Asobo, SU10 is otherwise amazing, this kind of basic bug is pretty inexcusable given the extra delay on SU10. So, incredibly disappointed I can’t use toe brakes at all.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Assign a variable axis to the left or right brake axis. Move the axis.

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

Xeon 2150B CPU, MSI 3060 TI GPU, Virpil ACE pedals, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, Bravo Throttle. But this behaviour still happens with just the Virpil pedals installed or just the Bravo Throttle installed with an axis set to a toe brake.

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

SU 10 I believe.

This is most likely a calibration issue, not a sim issue.

I don’t have Virpil products but believe there is a software manager for them (firmware / calibration) VPC Configuration Tool.

If you search the forums for similar issues you will see quite a few of them related.

I have the Virpil Ace as well, and absolutely no problems with them.

On the brakes I have the (not-really-an-issue) behavior that it looks like a button is pressed, but the axis bar is moving as it should:

Here are my sensitivity settings (yes all linear, I hate curves on input axes):

Yeah, the Virpil software and the Windows USB controller calibration show exactly what I would expect, perfectly linear movement. I did redo the Windows calibration just in case. The results looked the same as before, but that may have helped or fixed it. It’s working now. Not really sure what did it, I mucked around with just about everything related for quite a while.

The Ace pedals worked perfectly before SU10. Not sure what went askew, not sure what fixed it exactly, I just banged on and re-did/re-installed anything and everything related to both my Virpil and Honeycomb and remade the axis assignments in MSFS, etc. It is working perfect now. I love these pedals!! Just need a mount/frame to fit up against the wall so they are entirely solid. The big rubber feet do ok on this hardwood floor, but with the heavy spring and me stomping on them, they can move. Going to try making something with 8020 aluminum extrusions.

Now, can I mark this thread “solved”, but with no explanation why/how?
