Is it possible to use my toe brakes on my Saitek pedals in the DCS aircraft from the options controls settings?

Sure. Just assign the relevant axis functions to the toe brakes. And make sure to reverse the axis.

Absolutely......make sure you're in the axis subsection, clear any existing assignments from that particular line and re-map.

Note that this only applies to aircraft that have toe brakes (or where toe brakes are modeled). There is no differential braking for Su-25T/FC3 aircraft (except for the F-15C) and the helos.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

I can't get it to work. It seems like they stay on and won't release. Does it work as an on/off switch? I am trying on A-10C.

You have to invert them. Look for a check box marked 'Invert' and make sure it is selected.
