DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Weird prob. Wheel brakes are always locked. After start up. Brake Panel us set to; ON NORM. Axis for wheel brakes are mapped to pedals. Problem is that wheel brakes are always locked or on max. I tried inverting the axis. But it does no good. Parking brake is off, NWS is ON. Yet main gear are locked. If I turn the BRAKES OFF, then aircraft will taxi, but cannot be stopped. Flipping BRAKE switch to ON immediately locks main gear wheels. Checked it with Cheat/AUTOSTART. Problem remains I have X56. JF-17 is only mod that I this problem in. Edited April 20, 2020 by DmitriKozlowsky
mtd2811 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Wheel Brake problems. Brakes are always locked Try to invert your rudder axis Edit: just seen you tried that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 Try to invert your rudder axis Edit: just seen you tried that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Already tried.
Greyman Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Have you assigned left wheel brake and right wheel brake to their respective toe brakes on your rudder pedals and cleared any wheel brake mapping or have you mapped wheel brake to both of your pedal toe brakes? Either way, you may need to invert the axis on both toe pedals, as just one axis being in the wrong direction will resist you rolling. The latter option will make inverting both axes more complicated, if not impossible.
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 Yes on all. Tried reversing, remapping. Nothing works, main gear are locked and do not rotate when brake switch is on. Its messed up. Too bad. I was impressed otherwise with module. Except the unfinished cockpit, and lack of pilot.
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 Is there another manual parking brake, like in Harrier, that has to be turned off before taxi?
LJQCN101 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 The only parking brake is at the Brake Panel, which I think you didn't turn on since it's placed to NORM position. Could you take screenshots of the axis tuning and axis mapping page of the pedals? I'll see if I can find something. EFM / FCS developer, Deka Ironwork Simulations.
Greyman Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) The only way i could replicate what you are experiencing was by having both of my toe brakes mapped to 'Wheel Brake' (the command for both wheels) and having the axis on one toe brake inverted and one un-inverted. To check this is not the case, maybe set taxi power and fully depress one of your toe-brakes. If the aircraft doesn't move, then try releasing it and fully depressing the other one. Of course, if you have each toe brake allocated to one of the left and right commands already, then this theory falls over. Unless you have the 'Wheel Brake' command also mapped of course.

DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 23, 2020 Author Posted April 23, 2020 Damn, Tied everything again. Assigned wheel brakes to a single axis of spring loaded ministick. Not using pedal toe brakes anymore. But still. From cold & dark , using auto-start cheat, or checklist start, the wheel brakes remained locked after start up is complete. Wheel Brake switch is set to NORM. But no-go. If the switch is NORM ParkBrake is switch is relased, no good. Main gear are locked, and aircraft cannot taxi.
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 23, 2020 Author Posted April 23, 2020 Invisible wheel chocks? I dont think so. But maybe. Becouse if go full burner from parking, the aircraft will move slowly, dragging main gear tires.
AeriaGloria Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 You didn’t accidentally bind the emergency break? Might be worth it to upload a track Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
shaHeen-1 Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Sounds like some brake is engaged. Or jet is stuck in the dirt like when you go off runway. When you go to adjust controls menu does it by any chance jump to a brake control immediately incase it's receiving some unintended constant brake input?
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 Yep some brake is engaged. But I can't tell which one it is. On screen controls don't show brake wheel brake application.
shaHeen-1 Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 But what about the adjust controls menu where you bind hotas etc? Does it show irregular jump to a brake control or maybe some brake related axis is fully saturated in one direction?
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 27, 2020 Author Posted April 27, 2020 No. None is binded. I unbinded all breaks from HOTAS axis and buttons. But it is still on. So I have no clue what it is. I think it may be time to move on from this module. It is too new with issues. I rejected F-16C module , for time being, due to its performance issues. JF-17 has issues, and I can wait.
IIIThanatosIII Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I had the same problem with the Mirage. I put a dead zone of 19 in both left/right brakes and it fixed it. It was weird, if I engaged the brakes the plane would move but inverting the axis did not help at all so maybe try that.
shaHeen-1 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 No. None is binded. I unbinded all breaks from HOTAS axis and buttons. But it is still on. So I have no clue what it is. I think it may be time to move on from this module. It is too new with issues. I rejected F-16C module , for time being, due to its performance issues. JF-17 has issues, and I can wait. If you must. This issue is unheard of. I for one have never experienced what you are describing.
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 27, 2020 Author Posted April 27, 2020 I cant taxi!!!!! Brakes are set to NORM. Parking Brake is OFF . Yet the aircraft will hardly move on ground, without afterburner. Without burner, it is simply stuck . WIth afterburner, it drags its main gear as it is locked and frozen. There are no wheel chocks. It is what it is. I doubt it is unheard off. Just unacknowledged. If I switch brakes to OFF, the aircraft will roll, but cannot be stopped, until Brakes are turned back ON. As soon as it is, the main gear locks up. So please!
LCO489 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Have you tried deleting your inputs folder for the JF-17. Sometimes when new definitions for inputs are set on the game side it crashes with clients inputs, demanding a reset of the bindings. You can try making a backup of your JF-17 inputs folder and delete it and try the plane with a fresh one.
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 29, 2020 Author Posted April 29, 2020 OK here is the track OK here is the trackJF17_wheelBrakes_locked.trk
L0op8ack Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) set right MFCD down page to EPI2, if BRAKE set to NORMAL, and no wheel BRAKE applied, pressure should be close to 0; check no Axises other than pedal device are assigned to wheel BRAKE, in your setting -> JF-17 -> Axis command; (mostly, there are axises from other devices assigned by default, any of them applied, wheel BRAKE will be ON); if you are not sure of this, post a screenshot of your JF-17 Axises settings please; clear ALL wheel Axis BRAKE settings, use key w and check EPI2 L/R brake pressure again; Edited April 29, 2020 by L0op8ack
DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 30, 2020 Author Posted April 30, 2020 OK. I got it working. I think. It appears the sim axis do not like sliders. If an axis is set to be a slider, it seems to take its max value. Even if its inverted. Wacky.
