Hi.
I recently had the fortune to get hold of CH Pedals Pro USB from a store at a bargain price. The catch was that it was without ANYTHING else than the pedals. Apparantly it had been a showroom piece and noone really knew where the box, manual or CD were (actually they didnﾃつｴt even know what it was they sold). I didnﾃつｴt really care since I got for less than half normal price.
Well, I plugged them in (Win XP) and my system immiedately recognised them (at least that was how it appeared). I installed Ctrl Manager 3 cnd mapped them to Direct Mode and started IL2FB, my program of choice. However. The breaks seem to work (they are mapped to the X and Y axis) but the rudders donﾃつｴt. If I choose to deactivate the brakes from within Ctrl Manager, the brakes still work. This makes me think that my profile from within Ctrl Manager does not "load" properly. Which makes me think I lack a driver or two (I was told I didnﾃつｴt need no drivers since I was running windows XP).
I admit I am using a Saitek X45 (yeah I know, donﾃつｴt start... ;)) and bought the pedals because I dislike the rudder controls on them, but the thing is, the pedals donﾃつｴt work even when I donﾃつｴt have the X45 plugged in.
It feels I am missing something basic here. I know I lack both an installation CD and a manual, is there someway I could get hold of those here? Or some help to get started? Iﾃつｴd hate to get my lovely pedals back to the store for a refund...
