May be your zconfig.ini file in the same folder is virgin)) To control LEDs add User=Developer into [User] section and restart tool.
I've added 2 virtual axes #6&8. Would be different brakes.

Axes will be controlled by rudder axis #7, but indirect. Why - some later.
Note. Not axes yet, just templates. No control for them.
Enable Axes 2 buttons function.

Axes 2Buttons tab allows to setup function. Axis 7, rudder. Brake whole range to 3 zones. Each has assigned button, "pressed" when response is in corresponding zone. 1st number - button sequence start. #25. So when rudder centered button 26 is pressed and 25 & 27 when you move pedals.
Now make new axes detachable. Similar to previous example. Using boolean functions.
I use lines that by default have No Function. They have no physical buttons.

If #31 line (A1 button) released, line #1 pressed (logical).
To return logical line to physical level use JMP function.

Logical #1 corresponds to physical #5.
Now temporary disable axes.

When "physical" line #5 pressed (note, already, a2b works, rudder axis centered, red square))), axes # 6&8 (without center) zeroed.
Now pull logical buttons 25 &27 (A2B from rudder axis) to physical. Blessed JMP! Hare Alex!!!!

27 to 29 same way.
Now you will see Axis birth!!!
"Physical" line 28 controlled by logical 25, enabled by rudder axis moving becomes Trimmer Auto+ gives birth to axis #6.

Line #29 to Axis #8 similarly.
Now why so complex. Why not to make virtual axis, combining it with #7 rudder axis directly, as in the 1st example? Virtual axis as a result of combining with other one is not controlled by FA1 function. Program restrictions.
Almost done.
Make virtual axis for common brake #4. Pinky button.

Piece of cake!(c) Duke Nukem
Press Set, test. NOOOOO. First of all - save profile. I'm sorry. I save profile after every change - not to begin from the start))) Try test.
PS
About indication. After you added User=Developer you will find External - LEDs tab.
Gladiator has single LED. Physically you see two but it is optical illusion))). See line 5.

If physical button 31 is pressed Color 1 of LED #0 will blink ultrafast.
Do not forget about Set button.
Be lucky, questions are welcome.

This is a hell of an explanation, Victorus. Thanks!
