Brakes issue with Blackbox A320?

[stuarth]

I have configured buttons on my CH yoke for most aircraft successfully as 'Brakes Left'/'Brakes Right' in fsuipc, but when doing the same with the Blackbox A320, whenever I apply the brakes they remain on.

Could anyone advise what might cause this issue as I am at a loss?

Thanks,

How would you operate its brakes without FSUIPC assignment?

I haven't tried on the BBA320 as I have only just got this particular aircraft.

I used to set the yoke buttons in the FSX Controls dialogue to the same functions Brakes Left/Right, but as I configure all other buttons and axis now through fsuipc, I have the yoke, Throttles and rudders disabled in the control panel. Other aircraft seem to work fine, it just seems to be the BB320 that sticks the brakes on when buttons are released.

I have the check box ticked to repeat while pressed. Is there something perhaps I could set in the box when button is released?

Is the a support forum for that aircraft or its publishers? Perhaps ask there? All FSUIPC will be doing is sending the control, same as if it was sent by FS assignment. Not much else to it, unlike the actual toe brake axes which are more complex and have more things going on. The fact that it works okay in other aircraft does point to something wrong in just that one.

No, there's no "brake release" control it can send. The brakes controls are simply one-offs, which when repeated build up brake pressure and when to sent let it dissipate. The brakes shouldn't come of from a high pressure to zero instantaneously, though, but come off as the pneumatic system lets them. Maybe that model has the rate of decrease set very slow. I don't know if that's a settable parameter, but it might be worth a look in its AIRCRAFT.CFG file to see.

Thanks Pete,

Unfortunately their support forum is not brilliant at the moment. I'll try some of the suggestions you have made and check a few other things.
