Well yes that what my bug is all about. First after setting udev rule it worked for a week or so 

but it seems that was just luck because for the next week it was dead.
If I could use my pedals I wouldn't have bothered a bug report. Sometimes a reboot helps but 

mostly not. True random maybe try the next day to see if you're lucky...
No idea but it doesn't feel like permissions at all.

That part would need the "evtest" check that I described above. But
that seems to be something else than device permissions?

Title:
  CH Pedals are not working in 14.04

Status in systemd:
  Fix Released
Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I've created a rule in lib/udev/rules.d as 99-xplane.rules:
  # CH PRO PEDALS USB
  KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="00f2", ATTRS{idVendor}=="068e", MODE="0666"

  and even do at every x-plane start:
  cd /dev/input
  sudo setfacl --modify u:michael:rw- --modify g::rw- --modify o::rw- *

  but still my CH Pedals are often not working. (sometimes yes but not
  always)

  
  ------
  michael@michael-ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd

  I expect my CH pedals to work out of the box like on Windows.
  But even with the above they only work sometimes.-
