Hi Guys,

 

I am creating a text log of certain flight variables. All was going well, until I came to the Parking Brake.

 

It correctly registers if the parking brake is on or off using 'Ctrl + .' or clicking the button in the cockpit, however it is also activated when using the toe brakes on my rudder peddles.

 

I have managed to use a second OFSET (BCA) so that it does not register in my log if only one toe brake is pressed, however, if I touch both toe brakes, even only slightly it registers as set (even though its not actually set)

 

All ideas are welcome!

 

Thankyou,

Joe

I'm afraid you need to explain more. How are your toe brakes assigned? All aircraft or only one specific one? What other offset were you testing?

 

Please use the FSUIPC logging facilities to see what is happening. Monitor the offsets and log the events which occur when you press your toe brakes.

 

Don't forget, also, that on most (if not all) aircraft the parking brake is merely the latched application of both toe brakes. In fact if programmed correctly, you have to press both toe brakes then pull the lever to lock them on. Releasing them is then a matter of pressing both toe brakes sufficiently. If assigned through FSUIPC there's actually a threshold value you can set for this in the INI file.
