X-toebrake2yaw v.005 - barbarossa 2010
Use the full capability of your racing wheel pedals!
SHORT DESCRIPTION
A Plugin which makes it possible to have JUST 2 pedal axes controlling rudder AND toebrakes.
If you are looking for a toebrake solution AND you happen to only have just ONE pedal axis you might want to have a look at X-Coordinate.
DESCRIPTION
As I was looking for a solution to assign CLUTCH and THROTTLE of my G25 Racing wheel pedals and did not find
anything working for my system, so I created this one.
This Plugin maps the 2 toe brake axes to the one yaw axis (the rudder). You can now assign what ever two axis
you want to "left toe brake" and "right toe brake" in "Settings/Joystick/Axis" and these will control the rudder as well.
Just leave the yaw unassigned!
The toe brakes will still be funktional if you add a little pressure with the opposite pedal.
If you let go one pedal completely, only rudder is applied and you can have
a smooth takeoff roll. Taxiing should be just as easy.
For helicopters with no toe brakes, there shouldn't be any difference in handling at all, but less stress for
the left foot, as the clutch pedal is usually "softer" then the brake pedal.

TODO
- let the sim fail the brakes again (get rid of the fail hack)
- make it possible to brake one weel only for even better ground handling
CHANGES
005
- detection of input device now actually works! (not only on plugin reload, I wonder why noone was complaining?)
- fixed conflict with probably assigned yaw axis (which I experienced when I forgot to unbind my twist grip)
- you can now unbind the toebrake axes from the menu if you use a twiststick sometimes instead of the pedals to make differetial braking possible.
- scan rate defaults to "Every flight loop" again
004
- more scan rates, default 25 Hz
- toggle it from the menu
- detecting if controls are present (no more pain if only mouse is present)
003
- options for scanrate added.
"Every flight loop"
"100 Hz"
"50 Hz"
default is "Every flight loop". I can barely notice any fps hit with my mashine.
002
- minimum opposite presure reduced for even better handling, I hope.
- scan rate reduced from 100Hz to 50Hz (it did not hit the fram rate noticeably when I tested with EVERY FLIGHT LOOP, but less is more, I think 
001
- Linux version introduced
