Parking Brakes, press period (.) to release!

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I have this situation and it just happens this week,as I can recall.

It only occurs with the PMDG B737 series.

I have tried all the other a.c. from PMDG and the a.c. from FSX but it is only B737.

When I load the aircraft it loads with the parking brakes set.

Pressing the dot (.) does actually releases the parking brakes, but the text remain there.

Applying ctrl+. does engages the parking brakes, so it functions.

How can I make the text disappear when the parking brakes are released??

It is just annoying for I have to check whether the are released or not.

Have you instructed the ground crew to remove the chocks?

Parking brake msg is around until you have removed the chocks.

Thank you all, that did the trick.

I forgot all about the chocks.

Thanks again.
