Re: [Flightgear-devel] Toe brakes not working - 172

[Ron H. <gs6...@gm...>]

And another update to this:

I had the rudder pedals toe breaks set to invert - this does not work - no
animation, no brakes.
Unchecking invert now shows animation, but it is reversed - real pedals -
no brakes - FG animation brakes on/applied. pressing toe brakes on real
pedals - animation reversed and brakes are released.

here is the xml for the pedals.  How and where are the factor and offset
calculations done? why .05 or -.05.  I try to overwrite these values but
always is overwritten by FG.
