Just recently bought & received a set of Mk.18-3 rudder pedals with toe brakes and was wondering if there is any documentation & software available online for use with them.

Can you show photos of your pedals? I will help to correctly identify the model.

Yes, this version is Mk19, you can make calibration only by software " dxtweak2".
I can recommend you to use Tinybox. Tinybox supports Mk 19 pedals.
Pedals Mk19 connects to Tinybox by standard ethernet cable, Tinybox is based on Njoy32 platform. You can use configuration tool VKBDevcfg and can adjust filtering, precision, deadzones, curves and etc.

Some additional info. I have the same pedals and use them with TinyBox controller. This is a simple version of Njoy32. "Simple" means that you can use three axes only, not buttons. But you can setup response curves, calibrate axis using configuration utility VKBDevCfg.exe and so on.
But now we are awaiting for a BOMB!
http://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/3572-vkb-t-link-virtualnye-tormoza-dlya-t-rudder/Using buttons of another joystick of VKB or even NOT of VKB you will control axes of you pedals with TinyBox! So if you have only single axis pedals, you will have virtual axes for gear brakes, for example. Or/and you can trim rudder axis from joystick.
So I together with Daisy recommend TinyBox!

I've already used dxtweak2 for good effect. I was surprised that when I was looking at the game controller window even at full rudder deflection it would only go up to about 70% on both sides. I had to do a fair bit of recalibration for all axis to get them to work as intended. Will have to look where to get the TinyBox from because the European store does not list it seperately.

You can contact our European representative to ask about Tinybox. it can be sold separately if there is still stock. If no, it's available to buy directly from us. Thanks
