I reload the sim , splash screen, then the main screen with the raptor ... i then load the session i had saved... foot brakes dont work...

...

 

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. Normally I load the aircraft in a new Sczenario, which is why the error has not appeared in my appearance so far.

When I flew several long-haul rounds, I saved the flight and reloaded it another day. From then on, the problem with the wheel brakes appeared on me.

maybe this affects more than 5 people, but not many have noticed yet and/or not loading the flight this way.

no axes or buttons configured with fsuipc/widefs. use it only for weather, fsrealtime etc. on second PC.
GSX level 2
P3Dv4.3

maybe this helps
BUT the rest of the plane is absolutely fantastic.

I suggest the way to help is to document your experience directly with PMDG at their support portal.  This is just a user to user forum.  You are correct, there might be many with this problem but we cannot fix it here.  This problem never appeared during testing and we were reusing previously saved scenarios so it will be interesting for PMDG to explore.  The more examples they have the better.

Whenever I've seen something funny going on I've deleted the panel state file with the name of the saved flight before loading the saved flight. A panel state file is created or updated each time the save game is used. If this is not right then there's a load of things can go wrong, I've seen 747s do a massive loop-the-loop as soon as I un-paused the flight, just a bad panel state.

There's a lot going on when the sim starts up and various iterations of P3D have altered this behaviour so make sure to have the latest P3D build.

 

Now we need to know what's going wrong when the sim starts up. Make sure with Win10 no addon apps are restarted after booting up, so be sure they are closed before rebooting.

Before going to PMDG with a fault report the aircraft has to be tested in isolation on the stock P3D on that system - simply because any number of addons can alter the startup behaviour and cause problems.

 

It might be a problem in the aircraft, so the addition of other things in the sim must be ruled out first.

The sim does not need to be started first then load the flight, the flight can be loaded from explorer with the "Open with..." menu item on a saved flight. What is actually required is that the sim is *not used first with another plane that is not a simple plane*.

Hi guys

This toe brake issue along with the saved flights is an old issue! There is to say that it happened way back with the FSX ! The 737 had the same problem! The statistics are, not much people save a flight to continue from there. I am experiencing this brake issue with the 748! Hope that soon it will be resolved

hi Guys

is there anything new about this topic?
I have the same problem with the 747-8.
Maybe someone has figured out,
why this error occurs with the brakes.

 

best regards
