Hey Guys,

I'm running the latest registered version of FSUIPC and just recently installed the Lua dynamic friction file in modules and added the line AUTO Lua dynamic friction into the fsuipc.in in thr general section as was mention in other forum posts on this subject.

However when using the PMDG 737 when I first start to taxi it works fine. However when I touch the breaks. I have to use almost 50% power to move again. The only way to fix this is to apply the parking Break and come to a full stop.

I know I've seen this issue posted before but for the life can't find where it is.

I know I'm probably missing something very obvious. But any help would be great.

I'm using win 64bit and FSX has both service packs installed.

 

Cheers

Andrew G.

Your brakes need calibrating, it sounds like they are binding when your feet are off the pedals, either that or you haven't reversed the axis and they are releasing when you press them instead of vice versa.

Andydigital,

Tanks for the reply. But I don't think thats the problem as everything was working normally until I put in the FSUIPC patch.

Are you sure it's not the auto brakes turning on, double tap the pedals and see if they release next time it happens.

Ok,

 

to really find out what's going on with your brakes and calibration settings, please use this handy A2A brake test tool:

Oops! Ddidn't find it, but I'll try to get the link later today :-)

 

Then, for me setting the control axis, all but throttle because of PMDG's 777, and of course also calibrating through it. I confess I started using this, again, when I bought an add-on recently and was having some problems with control inputs, namely braking. 

Hey guys,

Gave the breaks test and calibration a go, and it seems to have worked! only did a taxi ground run rest with the 737ngx, so will have to check it with other aircraft but so far so good!

Can't thank everyone enough for their support. I read these forums on a near daily basis and I'm always amazed by the amount of support and knowledge people are willing to give out. Even if its for a simple and basic calibration problem like mine was.

So thanks for the help guys! and jcomm will keep an eye out for the break test.zip and re post if I have any more dramas.

 

Thanks

Andrew G

You're welcome Andrew.

Andrew, check your PMs ;-)
