How did I just now figure this out????

So, I have a flying joystick for flying in KSP and other flight sims. I always had to assign rudder to buttons on top of the flight stick, resulting in all or nothing yaw imputs.

I also have a wheel/pedal set for racing.

I just now realized that since KSP supports multiple joysticks, I can assign my gas pedal to right rudder, and my brake pedal to left rudder.

This changes everything. I'm so excited to set this up when I get home! If you have a racing wheel with pedals, you know have proper yaw pedals!

I was more stoked when I realized I could drive my rovers with my steering wheel :P Now they just need to plug the electric wheel torque into an axis so we can use a pedal for that, too.

Funny thing is, I realized the rover thing ages ago...curious as to how rudder pedals never came to mind.

Oh Lordy!

Didn't realise the effect of multiple joysticks (or wheels, and such).

I've used my Ye Olde Saitek X36 (and 35) for a full hotas while trying to reach orbit in a rocket.

And felt like a complete dork.

So now I can add my (almost as Ye Olde) Logitech Wingman steering wheel and pedals to the mix!

But one question remains, how can I reach my keyboard when my desk is full of gadgets? ;)

Ok, problem.

KSP supports multiple joysticks, but it doesn't support 2 Joystick axis's being half an axis. IE right pedal only moving rudder right, and left pedal moving rudder left. It doesn't work. In fact, it freaks out. I tried using primary and secondary, and inverting one, and when I loaded a craft, the tail fin rotated all the way around. and kept going. Like it was possessed. And it increased memory usage so much that I had to force close KSP cause my computer was maxed out on ram and going super slow. (man I need 8GB)

Any ideas on how to get pedals to work?

Wheel power can be assigned to an axis. Could in 0.90, at least.
