Using racing pedals for x-plane

[Julien Pham]

Hi,

I have no room at home for dedicated flight sim pedals. But I have Clubsport pedals from fanatec, very good racing pedals. I would like to find a way to use them as rudder pedals in x-plane. But for this I need a way to create a virtual axis and combine two axis of my pedals into this virtual axis.

Do you know how I can achieve this ? (on windows)

Thanks

Can the pedals slide back and forth or can they only tilt?  I know my pedals can do both but have a chock you can use for racing.  If they can slide, then go to the "Joystick, Keys, and Equipment" tab in the sim.

No they cannot slide, those are real racing pedals, not designed for flight sims at all That is why I need a way to combine two axis in one, with a software.

I know this is not ideal, but I can hardly ask my wife to find a place for flight sim pedals as well She was kind to let me put a racing cockpit and a three screen setup at home ^^

When you talk about your pedals with a choke, I guess you have the CH pedals? I had them as well, perhaps I still have them somewhere in the house, but they take quite some place

So my pedals can just tilt ^^ The throttle, the brake pedal, and the clutch

You might be able to set up the clutch as the rudder, and have the throttle/brake as left/right toe brakes.  And yes, I have the CH pedals.

This is easy to do in a script..... tell me which axis of the joystick setup page you want mixed, i'll make up something simple.

Oh really? This would be wonderful. What do you need exactly? A screen of the setup page and I should show you what is the throttle axis and what is the clutch axis in this setup page? And you'll mix them up in a new axis I can put the rudder on? This is what you need?

Thanks a lot

So here is the screen of the joystick axis page :

The throttle (the right pedal) is the axis I named "frein droite".

The clutch (the left pedal) is the axis I named "frein gauche".

Note that if I do not press anything, those axis are fulled, I have to press the pedals to empty the bars. So I guess something should be inverted somewhere

And thanks a lot

So, no need for a script anymore, someone pointed me out a plugin that will do this, in fact the plugin uses the left brake and right brake axis to use as the rudder.

Does anyone know if this same feature could be implemented on a Fanatec wheel? The CSL Elite McLaren wheel looks basically like a flight yoke. I use it with X-Plane with my racing pedals for rudders. It has a unique feature of a double clutch. I could use one for up and one for down. 

Let me know! :)
