What is the point of the Engine Sound mod? More authentic sounds or just better quality?

I feel like yes, theoretically should be possible. I’d think one could toss themselves over the windscreen/cowling space too and drop down on the opposite side to get into the open canopy instead of running around. Biggest problem in my uneducated brain would be that fuel priming. In a good well maintained craft, couple primes, hop the cowing and crank and you’re good, but if you’ve got crap fuel or a poorly maintained craft, you might be playing the prime and crank game for a while…

I am not the OP but I ran into this issue myself and tried your solution, immediately got tone. I was really confused when I couldn’t get tones and had everything right! I am pretty sure the inner two sidewinders is what I was flying with and it starts with the far Port Side, which I had left empty.

Copy! Will do! As to modifiers, negative. Left, right and both brake commands are bound to 3 different buttons on the stick, and to the “A”, “W” and “D” buttons on the keyboard, no modifiers and no Axis. Regardless of which button(s) are pressed the toe brakes stay firmly planted.

So this happens intermittently, I’ll do my best to catch a recording of it. But as of now I never ever had it occur in a recording. The occurrence is my brakes will engage and not disengage. It’s not the stick or my keyboard as I have confirmed with both separately. It also has never occurred in any other modules. The result is a plane which will not be able to move, turn, takeoff etc. it’s occurred on takeoffs before which naturally results in a crash, it’s also happened post landing or even at landing. It only happens once the brakes are engaged. They are then stuck and no combination of buttons will release the brakes. It’s as if the pilot has a cramp and his legs are stuck. It’s probably happened 8-10 times now, really causes issues on a server or single player when the only way to fix the plane is to get another one by bailing. For context, I have no mods currently and the most recent DCS version. I can try and pull a .trk next time I fly it and it occurs. The last time I flew I landed with full brakes applied and thankfully didn’t flip. I had no brake control and couldn’t move off the runway.
