brakes applied allways

[bbruechmann]

I´ve updated to JH FMGS B52 and now, once i´ve started FMGS on the dedicated server, the brakes of the airplane are applied and i can´t release them in P3D (not the parking brake nor the differential brakes). I´ve reassigned the brake key in P3D but it didn´t help. Any idea what could be wrong?
Anything else seems to work correctly.

have you checked assigning it in FMGS config only ? It should not be configured in P3d.

I´ve deleted the assigned keys in P3D but the brakes are still applied once the FMGS is loaded.

[michael1508]

maybe reverse configuration in FMGS?

[bbruechmann]

Solved!

I´ve deleted all axis-configurations in the FMGS-config and re-assigned them again. Now everything seems working correctly. At least the brakes are not applied anymore.

now I am having a similar problem.
My parking brake does not release anymore.

I am using Mobiflight. First setting of parking brake is recogniced in mobilflight and Jeehell indicates it in the ECAM status. On releasing, Mobiflight still recognices this, but in Jeehell the parking brake stays activated.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael, it seems the cause of your issue is a different one. In my case, where the differential brakes were applied, the reason was, that the potentiometers of the my Rudderpedals where not calibrated correctly in FMGS. The axes where wrong direceted an though, when the pedals are in the zero-position, for Jeehell the brakes where applied at their maximum. After re-calibration in Jeehell everything was fine.

The parkingbrake is acting different, as a switch instead of an axis. It seems that the offset for the state of the parking brake (on/off) isn´t recognized in Jeehell. If your pb is released, are you able to taxi? If the SIM message "red text" doesn´t say "parkingbrake ON" it is released in fact. If Jeehell ECAM say it´s still ON then it´s only the parameter or offset which is not updated. I think that FMGS read those kind of parameter out of the SIM. So it´s maybe an simconnect issue or something similar.

Cheers

no, plane doesn't move. Parking brake is physically set.

switch is using the standard p3d offset. Used to work with these settings for the last 130 years.
Now I can only activate it (offset 1). But not deactivate (offset 0) anymore.

Did anything change with P3d v4.5 or with with the latest FMGS???

Thanks,
Michael

It could be the release PRK BRK event with FSUIPC is not recognized, I need to test when I have the time...

[michael1508]

the event is recognized in Mobiflight at least.
