Moving forward really slow (thrust idle + parking break set)

Featured Replies

Hi,Anyone else have this issue? When you load up PMDG 737NGX with default configuration and are sitting at a gate or something, the 737NG is moving forward ever so slowly even if the parking break is set on. Thrust leavers are at idle. You only notice it really if you've been sitting for a while programming the FMC then look up and the gate is so much closer than it was before. If you stare out any of the windows you can tell you're moving forward pixel by pixel. If left to its own devices the aircraft would eventually crash into the gate (would take a long time but would get there eventually). Anyone?Cheers,Garry Noble

Maybe you should try recalibrating your joystick. regards Jason

No kneed to recalibrate the joystick, I don't believe that this is a PMDG issue rather an FSX issue.cheers,Ensar

I get this, too. Whenever I start the NGX on a gate, the initialization will start but at the same time the aircraft moves forward for 3 seconds. But what I do, which solves the problem, is to (if you have Rudder Pedals) hold both toes while FSX is loading (the loading screen after you have selected your airplane, airport, etc.) and the moving forward will be minimal.

Are you sure it is not the gate moving forward towards you ?A " Plane " VS " Gate " standoff !! :(

I know what you are talking about, and it's an FSX problem. For example, load any default plane, set the parking break, and enable time compression, and you'll see it moves forwards clearly.
