Can't release brakes and brake message

[chestajeff]

I can't release the brakes via the key board (using the period key) I am sure I have done something as this problem exist in bot FS9 and FSX. I have a Precision flight control Cirruss model with brake pedals. Thanks for any suggestions

You probably have the brakes reversed. See if the Brake go off when you press both toe brakes fully. If so, reverse them -- wherever you've assigned them (FS or FSUIPC) there will be a REV option.

Thank you, I tried as suggested, when I apply the brakes the "diiferential brakes" flash, but the brakes remain engaged as well as the parking brake.

The parking brake should be disengaged using the "." key or a control assigned to operate it. There is a facility in FSUIPC to auto-disengage parking brakes when you pressboth toe brakes to a certain (adjustable) pressure, but you have to assign in FSUIPC to use that, and it is only in a very recent version of FSUIPC.

Reverse your toe brake axes as I suggested and calibrate them with a good null zone near the off position. Assign some button for parking brakes.

Thank you I have resolved the problem. For both FS9 and FSX I use aPrecision flight control Cirruss and no other “joysticks” when I was looking around it seems that somehow I have an added USB Joystick and this what was causing my issues.

Okay. Glad you resolved it!
