October 21, 20187 yr Hello, I looked all over the P3D v4.3 settings and i can't find the right setting. The Problem is that if i press the differential braking the parking brake is automatically released but i don't wan't that. I want that the parking brake only releases when i do so and not on its own. Does anyone now how to set differential and parking brake totally independent from each other? Thank you a lot for Your help Best regards from Berlin
October 21, 20187 yr As far as I know all real life aircraft work that way, LM likes to stay as realistic as possible. You will not find an in-sim setting to override that behavior. Maybe there is a third party app that will allow you to do that.

October 21, 20187 yr Yup, Jim is correct, most aircraft will release the parking brake if you activate the brakes on the rudder pedal. You might be able to assign it to operate otherwise with something like FSUIPC. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

On a CRJ you have to depress and hold the brake pedals with considerable force to be able to pull up and rotate the mechanical parking brake handle to the locked position. If you don’t depress them far enough, the handle won’t lift. You have to do the same when releasing it.

Welcome to the world of P3D where you can easily adjust the parkbrake to work like in most airliners. Just add this line in the aircraft.cfg in the brakes section: [brakes] parking_brake_linked_to_toe_brakes = 0 Edited October 22, 20187 yr by J35OE
October 22, 20187 yr where in the world, (or P3D) did you learn that method? Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's
October 22, 20187 yr Moderator There are literally hundreds of little settings one could tweak by going through the cfg files line by line. Years ago one of the guys from Aces posted a bunch of these undocumented "adjustments" for FSX. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

October 22, 20187 yr Just tested in FSX, it works.. Diff (toe) brakes will not release parking brakes individually but with both diffs applied (or period key) the parking brake releases. 3 hours ago, vgbaron said: There are literally hundreds of little settings one could tweak by going through the cfg files line by line.

Several system builds later and can't locate the file. ☹️ RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

October 25, 20187 yr Author Thanks a lot for the discussion and the advice. I will try and let you know how it worked out. thanks a lot and best regards from Berlin
