CH Products Pro Pedals not working in X-Plane 10 (Linux)

Question

Greetings,

I am running Linux with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit. 
I have X-Plane 10.51r2 installed.

My CH Products Flight Sim Yoke works fine, but my Pro Pedals are not being recognized by the X-Plane software.  The computer seems to recognize them, as when I input the following command into the terminal:

sudo lsinput

I get the following information for the pedals:

/dev/input/event15
   bustype : BUS_USB
   vendor  : 0x68e
   product : 0xf2
   version : 256
   name    : "CH PRODUCTS CH PRO PEDALS USB "
   phys    : "usb-0000:00:14.0-3/input0"
   uniq    : ""
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_ABS

But, when I enter the Settings -> Joystick and Equipment area of X-Plane, only the yoke is recognized.

The X-Plane community suggested creating a file named 99-X-Plane_10_Joystick.rules with the following code:

KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0xf2", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0x68e", MODE="0666"
# Rudder Pedals
KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0xff", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0x68e", MODE="0666"
# Yoke

and placing it in:  etc/udev/rules.d/

I have done this, but X-Plane still does not recognize the pedals. 

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance

Hi there gamo55,

It seems like you've been through a lot of trouble trying to fix this issue of yours, and I understand it must be getting quite frustrating not being able to get it work.

 

My two suggestions in this situation is to contact X-Plane directly at their Support Page which can be found right here and scrolling down to the 'Contacting customer service' section and using one of the many ways to come in contact with them.

My other suggestion would to be to file a Bug Report for this as I'm sure you'd like this to be fixed and the best way for that to happen is to put one in and hopefully it will be addressed in an upcoming beta update or toward the final release; you can find the Bug Reporting Page right here.

 

I hope I was able to help with your matter at hand.
