PARKING BRAKES WOULDN'T RELEASE
i hate fsx so much rn lol.
ik this discussion topic has been opened before but my issue is kinda different.

So firstly, the parking brakes were never disengaging. Like in my actual plane it would, but in fsx the red message bar would never disappear. That was regardless the addon plan, pmdg 777 or the aerosoft a320. Then i searched and searched until someone really stupid recommended to turn the sensitivity to max and null to 0 and because i am even stupider i followed him.
DOUBLE TROUBLE!! now my camera pumps whenever i move the head thing on my joystick, literally all the buttons are screwed. today i said well lemme delete the controls folder which turned out to be the standards xml folder. and literally nothing happened lol. fsx is a cursed blessing i swear.
I tried to reset to default and my wheel chocks were removed, both didn't help at all.
any help would be appreciated good ppl i just wanna fly lol.
the video below shows the problem:

There are two settings files:

1. Your Installation\steamapps\common\FSX\Standard.xml

2. C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\Controls\Standard.XML

1. Is the Standard Microsoft settings.

2. Contains all of the custom keyboard and control settings which YOU have made.

[You should keep a copy of this one.]

In the C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.cfg file you can change:

InfoParkingBrakesEnable=True to =False and then you won't ever see this red warning again.

This is what I have done which you might find useful:

In FSX settings I have deleted the keyboard command P when used to Pause, as the Pause/Break key also provides that function and there is NO reason on Earth to have two.

I have then assigned the P key to apply the parking brakes and use the joystick trigger to release them.

You just have to remember to release the trigger before pressing P to apply the brakes.

I have also set ALL the info entries to =False as I don't want the red to spoil screenshots.

If you look in the Modding Forum you'll find that I have changed all the red info to Steam Green which is not only easier to read but looks much better.

The upper right View info has been turned off completely. I don't need it anyway.

If you are prepared to start over with your fsx.cfg file either revert to the copy which you (didn't) make or delete it and re-start FSX when you should get a new one.

Make a copy first, by copy and paste, then you should see a fsx_Copy.cfg file.

Then you'll have to reinstate all of your modifications.

You may need to run the Verify Integrity of Game Files utility to restore the Standard.xml file

Erazer, maybe the OP actually wants the parking brake off and not just the red message to disappear?

amooda01, parking brakes are separate from regular brakes and are not affected by any joystick sensitivity setting. The default keystroke to turn parking brakes on/off is CTRL+. It is possible your Microsoft keyboard setting has keystrokes set to repeat too fast. Try to slow down the rate and you should be able to hit CTRL+. once to disengage the brakes. Many GA planes have virtual cockpit so you can see for yourself the brake engaging and disengaging so you can be sure the sim is registering your keystroke.

Maybe the OP actually wants the parking brake[s] [PLURAL] off and not just the red message to disappear?

"So firstly, the parking brakes were never disengaging. Like in my actual plane it would, but in fsx the red message bar would never disappear."

Maybe it's that you are incapable of noticing the contradiction.

"Like in my actual 'plane 'it' would." Translates as "In the aircraft itself they [The parking brakes.] would." [Turn off.]

"But in FSX the red message would not disappear."

I found that these red messages serve no useful purpose so, in common with many other FSX users, I have turned them off.

To release the parking brakes you only need to use the joystick trigger and not the keyboard.

As the P key does not require to be used to pause the simulation it has been re-assigned to set the parking brakes given that the PAUSE/BREAK key performs the same function and that there is NO NEED for a duplication.

IS THAT PERFECTLY CLEAR?

It is well known that holding down a key causes multiple inputs which confuses the system.

The prime 'villain' is Ctrl + E to start the engines automatically.

If the E key is HELD down the engines will NOT start properly.

The correct key input is this. Hold the CTRL key down and TAP the E key once only.

The same rule applies to setting and releasing the parking brakes and many other keyboard commands.

Messing about with the keyboard repeat is not going to change anything.

Reading the full post it is most probable that his fsx.cfg file is damaged.

FYI

I don't now, and never have used a Microsoft keyboard as it is not manufactured by Microsoft, and in all probability the OP doesn't either. However we both use the Microsoft keyboard SETTINGS as the program is produced by Microsoft.

Sorry Erazer, but if the red message is appearing the parking brake is engaged, even if the OP doesn't think it is. The parking brake message doesn't appear by itself out of the blue so I don't think turning off is the best way to solve the problem. I'm not going to tell you and amooda01 how to enjoy your sims, though. I wish you well in getting to the very bottom of this.

Thank you Erazer and BF Bullpup so much for your help ❤. Well actually I apologize for not making myself clear from the beginning and caused that :( the problem isn't in the message. The problem is in FSX's system because the planes would show that the parking brakes are released *as you saw in the video* while fsx still thinks it's on. Biggest proof, besides the red message bar, GSX would never pushback my plane since it's stuck on the "release parking brakes" command. I did what I had to do though hahaha, but fsx is just stuck on the brakes. Today I tried your suggestion Erazer since I thought it might be a glitch or something in the message, but my problem is just the same without the message. Today I also tried the standard xml folder in the fsx root directory the one Erazer told me about and yes that fixed my joystick sensitivity issue! Thank you! Parking brakes still stuck. :( I hope that made it clearer :) and BF Bullpup I really didn't understand your suggestion, would love it if u explained more ❤

Btw one more thing. I just realized today that This problem is only with two addon aircrafts. The PMDG 777 and the QW 787 , all others seem to work well. The wheel chocks are disnegaged. There's a glitch in these two only.

It might not help for these aircraft but if you apply the brakes normally it will release the FSX parking brake.

Then the obvious thing to do is to uninstall these two add-ons, re-boot and clean up the registry, then re-install, one at a time, and test each one.

There's no much wrong with FSX and stock aircraft.

The problems arise when those who make add-ons don't stick to Microsoft code and Microsoft methodology adding all manner of unnecessary views.

I just load up the aircraft and the brakes are automatically engaged by default by the very usual lol

Alright then seems like the only solution. Question is how do I clean the registry. Does that also mean deleting the cfg I have now? Sorry but never went through that process b4 tbh

Try that - it happens with me occasionally when the sim thinks my differential brakes are engaged. I would NOT clean up the registry yet. You are not at the point of last resort yet.
Uninstall the add-ons and then re-install one at a time. You may have to run it stock (no add-ons at all) to see if you have the exact same issue. Are your views better now, by the way?
LHookins 2019 年 2 月 6 日 上午 2:38 
I wasn't talking about the parking brakes, but the regular brakes.

Load the sim. Load the aircraft. Look for the parking brakes text. Depress your brake pedals or whatever you do to apply the brakes. In FSX this will disengage the parking brake. Those two aircraft might have their own implementation of parking brakes independent of the FSX parking brakes and this is why flipping the switch in the cockpit does not release them.

This test will take only a few seconds after the aircraft is loaded. Do all that other stuff after you do the test if it is still necessary.

I wasn't talking about parking brakes either in my reply, Hook. :-) I agree with you that hitting the . key (or depressing the rudder pedal assuming it has been configured properly) are good enough to get the brakes working normally again for either regular or parking brakes. So there must be a problem with both add-ons if it does not work yet it works normally for the stock aircraft.

I know, Bullpup, and I wasn't responding to you. :) I was responding to this:

Oh okay. The . Key command isn't working either like if I pressed on it from here till tmw morning parking brakes will still be engaged haha. The differential brakes yes do work and parking brakes never release. This is what made me think that there's some sort of error in the fsx controls. However I think the best option now is to reinstall both addons. I will do so and update y'all thank u ❤
