void68 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Bound the parking brake to a switch before, worked fine. Now hitting the switch in my homepit into upward position (PB) no upward switch position in the simulated cockpit. Checked it in Settings, the switch gives immediate and correct feedback "PARKINGBRAKE". However there are two entries, both are in orange? AntiSkid on/off positions however work like before. Changelog says: "Fixed: 3-way switch for ANTI-SKID/PB doesn't engage Parking Brake." Strange, I never had problems, it always engaged the Parking brake before. NOW it's broken.

rob10 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what causes it, but the orange colouring of those boxes indicates there is a problem. Try CLEARING both, save and redo it. Not sure what you want to search on to find the issue, but it is some sort of binding issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arclight007 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Same issue here. Switch is good on in cockpit panel. Will go to off and anti-skid but not to parking brake! Was working fine before latest update! Any suggestions would be appreciated? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arclight007 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 The F-16 Parking Brake is not working proper since last update. Switch in the sim will not go to parking brake when manually flipped by mouse. It also effects a manual switch in cockpit panel Switch is good on in cockpit panel. Will go to off and anti-skid but not to parking brake! Was working fine before latest update!

LeCuvier Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Cannot confirm. I can set the switch to all 3 positions. Right mouse button moves the switch up from OFF to Anti-Skid, then to Parking Brake. Left mouse button makes it switch down from Parking Brake to Anti-Skid, then to OFF.

razo+r Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I was also able to engage the parking brake without any issue. @Arclight007 Check for any unwanted double bindings. Also make sure your throttle gets to idle correctly. The parking brake will disengage if the throttle is not in idle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey11 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Are you on main power when engaging it? Used to not be able to engage it without power being on in the jet.

Nealius Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Works fine here for me as well. I do often find in the Viper my inputs (mouse, keyboard, HOTAS buttons) sometimes get registered as double-presses. Most frequently with the parking break, FLCS BIT, and CMDS program/mode switches. Could just be me and my system but if the switch isn't "sticking" then there's a possibility you may be experiencing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the parking brake requires power on the jet (to power hydraulics?), so make sure your engine is running when trying to engage the parking brake.

Solution Arclight007 Posted March 1 Solution Share Posted March 1 Hello All, And good copy on all the feedback! Appreciate it. Switch works fine when power applied. Still having issues with cockpit panel. Will look for keybind conflicts. Thanks everyone again for all your support!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still having issues with cockpit panel. Will look for keybind conflicts. Thanks everyone again for all your support!! Yeah, I think literally every part of the jet is computerized. The switches and buttons do not actually connect to anything but circuit boards. Cars are a lot like this nowadays too, often for worse. Basically the only thing in the jet that works without power being switched to on is the canopy. There's probably some draw from a battery for that and I doubt the IRL switch is mechanical in any way. That's what made the F-16 so revolutionary and a bit controversial maybe when it came out: literally nothing but the ejection seat and canopy jettison is mechanically actuated from the cockpit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power is on, engine is running. Switching the Parking Break with the mouse works. Switching it with a keybind / external switch does not, ofc all other external switches work. The entry "AntiSkid-Switch, PARKINGBREAK" is a double entry and it's in orange, BTW like "MAIN POWER SWITCH (special) - MAIN POWER/BATT". Hovering over these commands tells me (in german, so a rough translation) "Different functions can't share the same name" . So there are different functions behind the command entries - not by me.

The problem seems to originate in the German versions of the "default.lua" files under "DRIVE:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Input\F-16C\joystick" and "DRIVE:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Input\F-16C\keyboard" respectively. It seems that the line with the name "ANTI-SKID Schalter - "Parkbremse" has different definitions between the two files. This ought to be corrected by the person who is responsible for the localization. It's a relatively simple task. I do not have the German files so I cannot look into them. I use the English version of the game (although I'm German), and the bindings for this switch work ok here. 1 LeCuvier Windows 10 Pro 64Bit | i7-4790 CPU |16 GB RAM|SSD System Disk|SSD Gaming Disk| MSI GTX-1080 Gaming 8 GB| Acer XB270HU | TM Warthog HOTAS | VKB Gladiator Pro | MongoosT-50 | MFG Crosswind Pedals | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, can you post a short track so we can see whats going on? When no power on the jet the brake will not function also when throttle is above approximately 75% (as far as I know) the break will disengage.

I know it's only a request right now, but would this be for all parked aircraft or would it be an option we can set on a per mission basis? I'd imagine in some cases you might not want the chocks in place (like QRA).
