Hi Pete, Is this a Win10 issue which will require a windows fix, before you can release FSUIPC5? Or is this something that LM can sort out on their end?

Again No Luck Pete! Works the first time i start the simulator but no longer does after i set the brakes again! I have sent you a log again. Leo :)

Server times out when clicking the 3.944 download link. Will try again and report on the results tomorrow morning!

Hi Pete! I will try the update as soon as its up and let you know. I also sent you the full/correct log this time. (sorry about the wrong one before) And thanks so much again for your great support :D Leo

Very Strange thing going on now Pete! When i Click modules and FSUIPC to open it up in FS9, and i turn on the logging as you requested. As soon as i close that, the parkbrake release works once and only once when i press the toe brakes. The only way to get it working again is to go back into the FSUIPC tab and closing it again!!!! As if FSUIPC is somehow not active when the window is closed again. So in the log you might see 1 successful parkbrake release but the following dont work. (Sent to you as requested in a .zip) Leo

Reversers works just fine with the default values. And regarding the 'reverse' for calibration I did that through my CH products manager. But I uninstalled that thinking it may be the cause of my parkbrake release not working. Also not the case. So as you can see I have the above values currently in use (for brake left/right) but still my parkbrake will not go off regardless of how often i tap/move those toe brakes all the way through their entire movement range. Also in the last topic you mentioned i should be able to calibrate under 'joystick calibration' regardless of if i choose "Send direct to FSUIPC" or "send to fs as normal axis" in the 'Axis Assignment' tab. This is most certainly not the case for me, as when i chose "send to fs as normal axis" going to 'joystick calibration' and clicking SET for some reason then regardless of the pedal movement, no movement is shown. As in the the number stays at 0!!! Very strange.... Do i need a .INI rebuild? I dont know what could be causing this!?!?!?

Hi Pete, Just installed FSUIPC 3.943 to try out the BrakeRelease threshold. Still no luck whatsoever with releasing the parking brake through the toe brakes. I will post screenshots and a more of my .INI file to better show my setup and make sure i have done everything correctly.

Sometimes it allows the release once but then does not work anymore after i set the brake and try again! Is there something wrong with my .INI? because I have no idea what i should do. Leo

I am very happy to hear this! thanks for all your effort and keep the amazing work up! Cheers, leo

THANK YOU Pete!! brgds, leo

Hi again Pete. Dont get me wrong, I have not been trying to tell you what to do, just trying to explain you my problem because nobody knows this better then you :P NO! As an example lets say, DEFAULT IS I press my pedal a half inch down and it then releases the autobrake while applying the left/right brake. Depending on what toe pedal i am using of course. (so any form of brake pressure=parking brake release/autobrake disengage which is Great!) What i am trying to achieve, is to have the same exact function but with having to press the pedal (lets say) 3 inches down! giving me more "dead zone" such as when using the rudder to prevent unintentional autobrake release on landing! or parking brake release at the gate. (autobrake again always released by the same 'brake' input that releases parking brake by default) So this should clear up what i am trying to achieve! I really don't understand how you have become so totally confused, and I really don't know how to explain any further. I've repeatedly explained that what you want to do can very easily be done by simply doing what you did already, but assign to the FS controls So if I understand you correctly instead of setting "Direct to FSUIPC" in the first plane (under axis assignment) i should click "Send to FS as normal axis" and then assign Axis Brake left/ Axis brake right" AND THEN go to 'joystick calibration' Click SET and choose the range i want. So THIS will allow me to keep the (Parking brake off/autobrake disengage) function when i tap either of my toe brakes? if the above which you have clearly described before but i have only understood now is correct then i think i have a solution to my problem!? I hope i go this right now! And again thanks so much for your effort in teaching a n00b how to use FSUIPC! Leo :)

Hi again Pete!!! Without getting myself even more confused, i will start from the beginning disregarding what i have done as it clearly is wrong! I want to have two separate toe brakes. So my setup so far: 1. Under axis assignment: For Axis 3X (left toe brake i assigned: direct to FSUIPC calibration: Leftbrake) 2. Under axis assignment: For axis 3Y (right toe brake i assigned: direct to FSUIPC calibration: Rightbrake) This gives me (Parking brake off and Autobrake off) which is fine . BUT I want to have to press the pedal further down to achieve the same: (Parking brake off and Autobrake off) How can i achieve this in the best/simplest way that you would recommend? What steps should i take after step 2 (Clearly anything under the Joystick Calibration Tab and then pressing SET to get to the slope etc. prevents the: (Parking brake off and Autobrake off) fro happening so I will no longer touch that. Thanks for all your help so far Pete! I really really appreciate it. (Something that you recommended but that did not work "Setting a Slope" In order to set a slope I have to press Set and when ever i press Set that alone removes the: (Parking brake off and Autobrake off) function! Leo :)

Thanks for all your help so far!!! So now i have the latest FSUIPC release :P To answer some of your questions: I have Left break assigned to the left toe brake and right brake to the right toe brake. In this set up my parking brake goes off when i tap the brakes and autobrakes also go off when i tap my brakes. So thats fine. But in this set up I often turn off my autobrake accidentally because when i am using the rudder on landing the toe brakes have some movement but it is enough to trigger the autobrake off just like it should on a real plane. But it should not be that sensitive. And i want to have to press MORE toebrake to achieve the same default result. So the obvious solution is to go to 'joystick calibration' page 2 of 11 and Set Left brake Direct and Right brake direct. And then set the ranges to -15000 and 15000 or anything besides the default to get a bigger deadzone for the right brake and left brake BUT this will no longer remove the parking brake or disable my autobrakes when i now tap my toe brake. So I hope this clears up what my intentions are. I want to decrease the negative -16380 default value to -15000 lets say for both left and right so that i have to actually press the toe brake to at least that value of -15000 to release the parking brake or autobrake. ( in order to remove accidental parking brake releases or autobrake releases when i move my rudder etc.) BUT I can no longer remove the parking brake or autobrake via the pedals as soon as i click the Set for left and right brake. And without clicking SET i cannot alter the value to a smaller range to give myself a bigger deadzone!!!! Hope this helps you! Regarding the Axis assignment "FSUIPC word offsett" i still cannot achieve a parking brake release when tapping my toe brake. And i dont understand how i can even keep the toebrake assigned when i change it from Send direct to FSUIPC calibration(left brake/right brake), to send to FSUIPC Offsett? I believe there are two solutions to my problem: 1. "release parking brake on toe brake action" you mentioned above! I am more than happy to add this to my .INI 2. Get some insight on how i can alter the range of left brake and right brake without having to SET (direct) in the Joystick calibration. I need the same parking brake off action when i tap my toe brakes but with a different range besides the default one of -16380, 16380! So that I have a bigger deadzone. Thanks again! And answering your question: Its not that i think i cant calibrate the range without assigning direct, its simply that i do not know how too or where to?!?! Leo

Hi Pete! Thanks fr the insight so far!

This is did under the (Direct!) Calibration window in FSUIPC. My intention is so that if i tap th brake accidentally (these CH pedals are too sensitive! Just using the rudder sometimes will give one of the toe brakes a little input.) Which is why the above settings should get rid of this. But the result being that when i press my toe brake the parking brake wont go off. And actually on most aircraft you simply need to press the pedals furthers then at the position you locked them in by pulling the parking brake. But this is not what I am looking for! The main issue is that when i land in lets say my PMDG or level D planes. Autobrake like in real life is triggered off by tapping the toe brakes. Something that will no longer happen when i change the values above. (just just 1 number from the default value, prevents parking brake release and thus autobrake release.) And by sensitivity i just ment changing the ranges of MIN and MAX. If that makes sense as i described above. That would be great! I actually tried this myself but the only actions with brakes i find in the drop down menu are brakes left, brakes right, brakes, and parking brake. Nothing mentioning parking brake release. So i definitely need some help with that! :P

Have a issue with the latest FSUIPC version for FS9. (registered) I have my brake Axis assigned via FSUIPC. Using the CH pedals. Left Brake and Right brake work independently and without issues. BUT when i go to the DIRECT calibration in FSUIPC, (I want to turn down the range of MIN and MAX values to get them to be less sensitive) the parking brake will no longer release. Regardless of aircraft. Only solution is to reset (cancel) the DIRECT calibration but keep the separate left brake and right brake assignments in FSUIPC and the parking brake will release as normal again, but I am not able to achieve my goal of turning down the sensitivity. (because DIRECT calibration prevents the parking brake from working which is even worse of a problem) Some advice would be great!
