PMDG 777 front wheel not turning sufficient

[Morten]

Yes! The  "Direct to FSUIPC" choice solved the blocked foot brakes after landing! Thanks John!!!

(Pedals regarding to steering is however still chosen to be "Direct to FS", as it was the only way to solve my PMDG 777 steering problems - strange...but whatever it takes!)

Cheers,
Morten

EXCEPT for the fact that brakes now seems to block 100% whenever I start taxing and after landing. When taxing I have to hit the food brake in order to release brakes which I haven't touched in the first place at all!

for taxiing, I assume then that the brakes "seeming to block" is the parking brake? If so then it is released by pressing the toe brakes. That is a correct action, and should certainly be simulated by the PMDG model.

Frustrating because the sims own controller has an option to define null zones for the brakes which FSUIPC unfortunately don't have (at least to my knowledge). In other words, according to this link, the missing Null zones is what causes exactly this issue:

Null zones are most certainly settable in FSUIPC when calibrating. You simply move the brake axis to the postion where you want braking to start before pressing the minimum button! As well as this, FSUIPc offers more in that you can choose a "slope" to adjust the sensitivity in the first part of the movement without losing full force braking when pressing fully.

Come on Pete, what do you take me for! Of course I know all about that. But at the time parking brakes had already been released by me long time before this blocking occured. However as I wrote above, this issue has now been completely solved with help from John.

Thanks Pete for that reminder!
