gdotts Posted Thursday at 10:02 PM Posted Thursday at 10:02 PM There are 6 commands for the brakes.... I've bound all of them and tried all the combinations. L brake on/off, r brake on/off, parking brake on, parking brake off, parking brake set. L & R toe brake on/off C-130j won,t budge!!
609_Relentov Posted Thursday at 10:11 PM Posted Thursday at 10:11 PM (edited) If memory serves, you have to push both rudder pedals (toe brakes) all the way, then release the parking brake. I was scratching my head for a while too until I happened to try this process above (I.e . I had released the parking brake on its own, but it kept re-setting) Edited Thursday at 10:14 PM by 609_Relentov 2
Dangerzone Posted Thursday at 10:13 PM Posted Thursday at 10:13 PM 609 is right. Try this: L & R toe brake On - Full all the way in Release parking brake L & R to brake off 1
II.JG1_Vonrd Posted Thursday at 11:02 PM Posted Thursday at 11:02 PM Make sure the toe brakes aren't reversed. Many modules need the toe brake axes to be set to "invert" in control settings. 3

If that doesn't work, check your brake axis assignments to make sure they don't need to be inverted. airplanesimulations.com

If all engines are in Low Speed Ground Idle, then the engine generators will not supply electric power to the aircraft and everything will go dark. Happened to me a few times in the sim, and apparently it's happened in real life often, too. 2 My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS
dresoccer4 Posted yesterday at 04:32 AM Posted yesterday at 04:32 AM (edited) i'm still struggling with this. i have left and right toe brake mapped to a single button 'W' which is the default, which seems to enable the parking brake for some reason. do the brakes not work like every other module?

They do work like every other module. Do you have any hardware brakes bound? 1 airplanesimulations.com

Happened to me a few times in the sim, and apparently it's happened in real life often, too. The Standby Generator run off the APU can also be run direct with Bleed Air selected off the engines, so you don't need the APU fired up to taxi with engines in ground idle, just turn the Aux gen to the engine bleed air position prior to pushing ground idle buttons, they won't push in anyway without an AC source running. The main engine generators will only provide AC power at or near 100% RPM's. At least that's the way it worked in all the models prior to the J's. The older models like the A had DC generators on all four engines but AC gens only on the inboards. They also had no disconnects, so were prone to burning. 2
