JboiLA Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I apologize for another thread about this problem, but I still cannot get the PMDG 737 parking brake to set, or operate for that matter. Toes brakes are engaged with my feet and when I click the parking brake nothing happens, but only the usual sounds as it is trying to be engaged. I have read so many topics regarding this issue and I am frustrated. I could use some help on this matter. as I am not sure if I am doing something correctly. MSFS is a totally different beast than P3D v4.5 and a big learning curve to get settings right. Some background on my settings: Hardware = Saitek yoke, throttle quadrant and pedals Spad.next registered version with latest update. All assignments confirmed erased and only using Sim-connect default connection. I updated PMDG 737-700 (and 800) today to the latest version Registered FSUIPC is currently at version 7.3.11 as of today MSFS all axes and what-not confirmed deleted and only having FSUIPC control everything Here is my current FSUIPC.ini settings: [Sounds] Device1=Primary Sound Driver Device2=Speakers (4- Bose USB Audio) Device3=Realtek Digital Output (Realtek High Definition Audio) Device4=Realtek Digital Output(Optical) (Realtek High Definition Audio) Device5=Headset Earphone (HyperX Virtual Surround Sound) [General] UpdatedByVersion=7311 PMDG737offsets=Auto UseSystemTime=No JoystickTimeout=20 DisconnTrimForAP=No ZeroElevForAPAlt=No ThrottleSyncAll=No EnableExtraButtons=Yes ShowPMcontrols=No SpoilerIncrement=512 MagicBattery=No RudderSpikeRemoval=No ElevatorSpikeRemoval=No AileronSpikeRemoval=No ReversedElevatorTrim=No ClockSync=No ClockSyncMins=5 ClearWeatherDynamics=No PauseAfterCrash=No SaveDataWithFlights=No UseProfiles=Yes WideLuaGlobals=Yes InvokeFSUIPCOptionsKey=70,12 AxesWrongRange=No TCASid=Flight TCASrange=40,3 AxisCalibration=No DirectAxesToCalibs=No AxisIntercepts=No DontResetAxes=No ThreadAffinityMask=x0 LuaAffinityMask=x0 LogOptionProtect=Yes AutoConnectToSim=Yes AutoExitWithSim=Yes TimeForLuaClosing=2 TrafficStallTime=2 InitialStallTime=120 NormalStallTime=2 LuaRerunDelay=66 ComReadLoopTime=20 Window=52,52,821,471 Console=No ConsoleWindowTopMost=No ConsoleWindow=234,234,1227,753 BrakeReleaseThreshold=75 ControlsListBuild=999 FSVersionUsed="KittyHawk",11.0.282174.999 SimConnectUsed=11.0.62651.3 [JoyNames] 0=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals 0.GUID={D35BABA0-392D-11E5-8001-444553540000} 1=Saitek Pro Flight Yoke 1.GUID={8E9D35C0-392C-11E5-8001-444553540000} A=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals A.GUID={D35BABA0-392D-11E5-8001-444553540000} B=Saitek Pro Flight Yoke B.GUID={8E9D35C0-392C-11E5-8001-444553540000} [JoystickCalibration] RudderBlendLowest=1 AllowSuppressForPFCquad=Yes ExcludeThrottleSet=Yes ExcludeMixtureSet=Yes ExcludePropPitchSet=Yes SepRevsJetsOnly=No ApplyHeloTrim=No UseAxisControlsForNRZ=No FlapsSetControl=0 FlapDetents=No ReverserControl=66292 Reverser1Control=66422 Reverser2Control=66425 Reverser3Control=66428 Reverser4Control=66431 MaxThrottleForReverser=256 AileronTrimControl=66731 RudderTrimControl=66732 CowlFlaps1Control=66162 CowlFlaps2Control=66163 CowlFlaps3Control=66164 CowlFlaps4Control=66165 SteeringTillerControl=0 MaxSteerSpeed=60 Aileron=-16352,0,512,16287 Elevator=-16287,0,512,16351 Rudder=-16384,0,512,16383 Throttle=-16384,16383 Spoilers=-16384,16255/16 [Axes] PollInterval=10 RangeRepeatRate=10 [Buttons] PollInterval=25 ButtonRepeat=20,10 [AutoSave] Next=1 Interval=60 Files=10 SaveOnGround=No AutoSaveEnabled=No [GPSout] GPSoutEnabled=No [GPSout2] GPSoutEnabled=No [WideServer] WideFSenabled=Yes [Profile.PMDG B737-700] 1=PMDG 737-700 Southwest Airlines (N268WN | 2021 | Heart) [Axes.PMDG B737-700] RangeRepeatRate=10 0=AX,256,F,65720,0,0,0,*-1 -{ TO SIM: BRAKES_LEFT }- 1=AY,256,F,65721,0,0,0,*-1 -{ TO SIM: BRAKES_RIGHT }- 2=AR,256,D,3,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Rudder }- 3=BX,256,D,1,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Aileron }- 4=BY,256,D,2,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Elevator }- 5=BZ,256,D,4,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle }- 6=BU,256,D,22,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Spoilers }- [Buttons.PMDG B737-700] 0=PB,15,C66080,0 -{GEAR_DOWN}- 1=PB,14,C66079,0 -{GEAR_UP}- 2=RB,19,C65602,0 -{THROTTLE_DECR}- 3=UB,19,C65604,0 -{THROTTLE_CUT}- 4=RB,3,C65615,0 -{ELEV_TRIM_UP}- 5=RB,2,C65607,0 -{ELEV_TRIM_DN}- Any help is appreciated!

With your help and another member's post regarding assigning both toe brakes as Axis Left Brake and Axis Right Brake I was able to assign buttons to control the parking brakes. I was able to add these settings to the -800 variant as well. In addition I was able to enjoy my maiden voyage on MSFS with PMDG 737. Thanks again!
