After a couple of years off due to real life(!), I've picked up Rise of Flight again, and had another go at trying to be a cheapskate and avoid buying rudder pedals, given my Logitech G25 racing wheel is still in fine working order! Back in 2012, I was unable to combine the accelerator axis and clutch axis for the rudder, instead having to stick with accelerator/brake and making do with the varying firmness of the pedals. The PPJoy solution never worked for me - with 64 bit Windows 7.

This new solution involves the vJoy application and a piece of software I discovered called UJR (Universal Joystick Remapper):

- Download and install both, vJoy first
- Run vJoy and create a virtual stick
- Run UJR and experiment to discover which "physical stick ID" and which axes belongs to the steering wheel/pedals - in particular the independent accelerator and clutch axes
- Create yourself a virtual axis - clutch pedal on the axis 1 tab, and accelerator on the axis 2 tab. I had to invert the accelerator axis to get it to move the axis right
- Follow the Axis Merging Instructions (on the axis 2 page) the to merge the accelerator and clutch axis into a single virtual axis
- Map the "QuickBind" keys (this is a function which automatically and virtually wiggles the selected axis to enable the virtual axis to be picked up first inside RoF when assigning controls)
- Assign new controls to the Yaw plane control axis in RoF
- Done

It seems that UJR has to be running in the background for the virtual axis to exist, but it seems to use minimal resources.

After making these changes to get them to act like rudder pedals, do the pedals still work for racing?

This is what I use and it just remaps the axis with software that you can disable, so you can go back and forth from driving config to airplane config on the fly.

Yes reverts to normal for Farm sim as well !!!
