December 29, 201213 yr I have a problem that I only seem to have with the PMDG 737 NGX: when I start the plane and haven't touched my toebrakes yet, I can get moving with just a litte throttle (35 or something like that). However, whenever I have used the rudder and the toebrakes and have to stand still and get moving again (for a hold on the ground but also for taxi after landing) I have to give almost full throttle and the plane won't start moving before I hit something like 65! This means I quite often hear that beep during taxi that my throttle is opened to far... What setting should I look at to remedy this? Or should I have asked this in the PMDG 737 NGX forum?
January 4, 201313 yr I'm just guessing so we can figure this out.. One possibility that whenever you are applying the toe-brakes multiple-times, it set's the brakes to ON somehow.. Try looking in your bottom center MDF to see if the brakes are applied when you are experiencing this! Let us know,
January 6, 201313 yr Sounds like the brakes are not releasing...maybe a calibration issue? If you have a registered copy of FSUIPC, go into the logging tab, and on the right side of the dialogue enter BC4 into the top offset box, and select type "S16" from the dropdown to its right. In the one below it, do the same except enter offset BC6. Tick the checkbox to display in an FS window. This will show you the left and right braking values being applied in FSX--0 to 16384. If you're off the brakes and seeing a nonzero value here, you probably have a controller calibration issue...or the axes could be reversed I suppose. Anyway, this will give you an insight into what the brakes are doing. Just uncheck the FS Window box to make the logging feature stop. Also, if you are using FSUIPC, the PMDG NGX does not play well with FSUIPC doing anything on the brake axis. I have my brake pedals assigned in FSX, and found that even with axis assignment and calibration turned off, I had a lingering LeftBrake=0 line in the calibration section of the FSUIPC4.ini file. Once I removed that, the NGX behaved itself. BTW, the brake axes do not cause visual movement on the brake pedals in the VC even when working properly.

January 6, 201313 yr I don't have FSUIPC but this afternoon I found out the default null zones that FSX assigned to the toe brakes were wrong... I read a FAQ on the Saitek site which showed the preferred settings and all was fine immediately! Thanks for thinking along though! ^_^
