IronMike Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Dear all, unfortunately this patch around there is no real changelog for the Viggen. Our main focus was on updating it to work with the 2.8 update, which still required substantial input from our side. We would still like to kindly ask you for your feedback, as such major version progressions always can bring issues with them, although we hope that everything should work as it did during testing for 2.8. Thank you! To be noted: with 2.8 it seems that the parking brake issues has been fixed. This was not an active fix on our part, but came about due to the changes in 2.8 and is a positive by-product our testers discovered. If you experienced any issues with the parking brake + rudder pedals, please try if it now works for you as well. Thank you! In the meantime we have been focusing on updating the damage model of the Viggen in the background, which we hope we can bring to you the coming patch, including more other fixes and updates of course. Thank you all for your very kind patience.

SmeagleGoneWild Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 I have heard about an issue with the parking brake not releasing, but never had the issue myself (if thats the issue you are referencing), however, my issue is that I cant get the parking brake to re-engage. It will engage when holding the toe brakes down, but when you let off the toe brakes it disengages.

It will engage when holding the toe brakes down, but when you let off the toe brakes it disengages. The known bug is that if you have two separate toe brake axes, you have to release them perfectly in sync, or else the parking brake will release. Try mapping the single axis wheel brake to see if it stays set. As a workaround you could setup one of your pedal brake axes with a modifier to map it to the single brake axis binding. 2 "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."

I'm returning to the Viggen, motivated by the excellent work done by @TOViper updating its manual, and just found this issue ... can't believe that Heatblur has not introduced a tiny delay on the parking brake, so that a normal release of the pedals would work, as it stands now I'd need a perfect sync of my feets to sucessfully held the parking brake handle.

Thanks for the tip, for me its easier to just press the W key when setting the parking brake Best regards For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
