DFP brake stuck
hi everyone, sorry if this has been posted before but i couldnt find anything after a quick search, so here goes:
apart from the 'usual' pedal problems which i always managed to solve by opening the pedals and cleaning them from dirt, i'm now getting a strange problem that seems to reoccur more and more often.

it seems that sometimes, movement of the brake pedal is only recognized by the pc, when the accelerator pedal is also moving at the same time.
like, when i constantly press and depress the accel, then the brakes work.. but as soon as i stop pressing the accel, the brakes get 'stuck' immediately... i cann still move the pedal, but the pc doesn't seem to receive any information from that, neither lfs nor dxtweak nor logi profiler or anything

the thing is, i don't think it has something to do with the pots as i've fixed both of them to the frame with superglue and cleaned them from dirt... and even if i hadn't done that, how could dirt in one pot affect the other one? to me it sounds more like a software issue or maybe something with the circuit board or the connectors?

this problem only seems to happen in 'phases', like it works for days without any problem and then when it happens there's just nothing i can do until it magically works again

any ideas?
sounds simply like its only recognising as one Axis.. In your logitech profiler go to:

Device -->> Game controllers -->> select your wheel , click on properties.. Then click on Settings and the box that sais combined axis make it WITHOUT a tick. You may need to check the setting in LFS Too. In your Options. Controller make sure the Throttle / Brake axis are set to Seperate..


That sounds like that is what the problem is except for the fact that it happens in phases.. Does it happen when you play other games? disconnecting and reconnecting the USB perhaps? I dont know what could cause it other than the above to be honest.. I have always used some cheap logitech wheels myself however from yesterday i am now a DFP OWNER

I hope something in there helps. Good luck
simple replugging the USB cable did it... weird... illepall

but thx
