F-14

[Bea Moore]

Hi all can anyone help please, i'm using a hotas warthog throttle and stick. I can't get the wings, flaps and brakes to work, the brakes are on and i can't release them, all are programmed in ?

The F-14 has a parking brake. Make sure that's not set.

For the rest, I'd say to check your keybindings and see if it works during a mission where you start in the air.

Would be best if you'd explain step by step what exactly you are doing.

But def make sure you push the yellow wing lever all the way forward and then push it in with "right click" I believe. After that close the cover. Then you have to press the master reset button next to the wing lever and try if the wing sweep works in manual and automatic mode.

Also a good reminder always check that your flaps are up otherwise you can't sweep your wings back in.

Flaps only work when wings are out (20° iirc).
You have to check your bindings for brakes and other functions. Be aware, that DCS tends to set your brake axis inverted by default, meaning in almost every module you will have to change that setting.

Follow the propper startup procedure and your problem will gone. You have to press master reset button to restart wing sweep system.
