Is this a pedal issue ?

[Jan Mikuž]

Can someone, please, confirm this is (most likely) a throttle pedal issue.
Both pedals are worn a bit, but so far it wasn't too big of an issue.
But now i notice the throttle axis has gotten worse.

I tried to clean it, got some dusty chunks out, but i can't reach far enough and i haven't got an
air pressure thing...It's probably the contact that's busted, anyway.

Thanks

Yep. Classic potentiometer on the way to failure.

No,no.. It's an old Microsoft Sidewinder.
U sure cleaning will help ? U mean like properly opening the casing ?
I'm quite positive, like Marc confirmed, that's indeed a mechanical/potentiometer failure.

Don't know if this model can be cleaned ...I clean my G27 every 6 month ..and yes I open the casing and disassemble the pedals..

I used to have the Sidewinder FFB wheel and yeah, the pots can definitely be cleaned quite easily. I usually just sprayed them with a contact cleaning spray through the pot covers, didn't actually open the pots themselves. I'd probably rather just replace them than try to open them, to be honest.
