Pmdg brakes


Recommended Posts

I have the latest paid version of FSUIPC and have all my axes and calibration done thru it. The problem I am having is with the brakes. For onevi cannot engage or disengage the parking brake. It won't change either with clicking on the brake handle or thru key control or button control. GSC keeps asking to release parking brake but I can't do it so I can't use gsx pushback. Also the red brakes tag is on the lower left corner at all times.  If I press the brake prefers the differential brakes activate and if I just slight press the brake prefers they disengage, the red light goes out and I can move, but if I left up or press too much the brakes engage again. Please help.

FSUIPC cannot stop you operating the parking brake via the on-screen action or the normal keyboard assignment. Is it with a specific aircraft?

That seems to be an entirely separate matter and probably a result of not properly calibrating your toe brake axes. or having them assigned in both FSUIPC and P3D or FS2004 or FSX or FSX-SE (which ever you use -- you didn't bother to say!)

Note that most toe brake axes need reversing ("REV") before calibration.
