You mean, only one pedal is definable to breaks?

I.e., if you press both pedals fully and then release one of them, brakes will be released too.

As for differential braking, some planes had separate brake pedals and others had single brake lever and differential braking was achieved by moving pedals like using ruder.

... and that edit is this... go to the Users folder in your IL2 install and go to the pilot folder that you use. For these purposes I used the default pilot doe but yours may be different. Mine has my name. :C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\46 HSFX\Users\doe

Open the file called settings and scroll down to this set of lines:

[HotKey move]
AXE_RX JoystickDevice1=trimelevator
AXE_RY JoystickDevice1=trimaileron
AXE_RZ JoystickDevice2=rudder
AXE_U JoystickDevice1=pitch
AXE_U JoystickDevice0=-radiator
AXE_X JoystickDevice2=brakes
AXE_X JoystickDevice0=aileron
AXE_Y JoystickDevice2=brakes
AXE_Y JoystickDevice1=-trimrudder
AXE_Y JoystickDevice0=elevator
AXE_Z JoystickDevice1=-power


Note that there is only one line for brakes. That line isdefined by whichever pedal you press when assigning the controls in the HOTAS section. I forget which is right & which is left but on your pedals on e will be X and the other Y. Note in this case mine says AXE_X JoystickDevice2=brakes. What you have to do to get the brakes gto work on either pedal is to add another line AXE_Y JoystickDevice2=brakes. If yours says Y then the line you would add would be X, but the device has to be the same. Then save that. What I do after that is highlight the settings file and then R click and go to Properties. Then I click Read Only. The reason for that is that even if you set it up like this the file will be overwritten to the default 1 axis setting the next time you boot the sim. Just rtemember that if you want to change any key settings you will have to first uncheck the read only status otherwise it wont take.
