Can't release parking break!

Featured Replies

hi there, I've installed the PMDG 737NGX a few hours ago and I'm absoluty fascinated by the level of detail, but I have a big problem. I'm not able to release the parking break! by pressing period key nothing happens :(. When I'm releasing the parking break in the VC, the red light distinguishes but I still have the notice of a set parking break in the lower left corner. The parking break works well with all over aircraft! Does anyone can help me? Cheers,Flo

Flo, Not brake pads...remove the chocks. Alex has the location correct in the CDU.

And that's where the external model comes into play! One walk around, you see the chocks and you know what to do. I'm still not over the proposal that someone made about getting rid of the external model for performance! laugh.png

You weren't. Had the same problem an hour after it was released, spent way too much time trying to figure it out. LOL.gif All good now
