August 22, 20205 yr So I've heard you have to somehow apply the Toe Brakes on my rudder pedals when selecting "Ctrl+Num Del" to release the parking brakes? For some reason it's not working... Is there a specific sequence to do this as I've also heard that this is the way it is by design and mimics real life? Or am I missing a setting somewhere? I'm still having to manually reach down in the pit to release the Parking Brakes... Thanks! Chris Camp
August 22, 20205 yr Was not able to get it working either. Gave up and use keyboard or mouse now. SAR Pilot. Flight Sim'ing since the beginning.
August 22, 20205 yr Did you bind the key to "toggle parking brake"? It works for me! I have assigned a button on my TM stick. One press and parking brake is on, another press parking brake is off. Also worth mentioning that all airplanes in MSFS from the start have parking brake set to ON by default Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

August 22, 20205 yr Author Hmmm, from what I’ve heard you should not have to bind a key if you use the toe brakes in conjunction with the default parking break keyboard command... Something about how this is supposed to mimic how it’s done in similar Aircraft. Chris Camp

Something about how this is supposed to mimic how it’s done in similar Aircraft. Toe brakes are not parking brake! Toe brakes only work when you press and hold them! Parking brake is different leverage in the cockpit that can be set on and off. In some airplane in order to set parking brake you have to hold toe brakes and then pull parking brake, I don't think Asobo modeled it Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

Just tapping the toe brakes will not release the parking brake in the real aircraft. Bert

Just tapping the toe brakes will not release the parking brake in the real aircraft. I think you all misunderstood me... I thought you had to hold toes brakes down to be able to release the parking break in RL and thus had to do the same in the sim? The reason I’m assuming is because this problem did not occur before adding my rudder pedals... I could previously use the keyboard command without issues. I also don’t appear to have any keystroke conflicts with the release parking break command either... Edited August 22, 20205 yr by Kilo60 Chris Camp

Naturally you hold your toe brakes while release parking brake so aircraft would start moving just like you would do in car Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

August 22, 20205 yr I would think there would be a problem even if you could bind the toe brakes to the toggle parking brake command. Note that it is a "toggle" parking brake command, not "release" parking brake command. Therefore, every time you used the toe brakes, you would toggle the parking brake - first off, then on, then off, etc. Until/Unless there is a "release parking bake" command, it would seem best to either assign it to a button, use the keyboard, or just use the handle in the flight deck.

On the 152, the parking brake "knob" just holds the main brakes in place after activating them with the toe brakes. To release it's usually necessary to depress the toe brakes a teensy bit further, and then release the "knob". I suspect this is what the OP is referring to. AFAICT this is not modelled in-sim, and the parking brake knob and toe brakes are independent of each other. https://maintenancecessna152.blogspot.com/2012/09/parking-brake-system.html In the real 152, the parking brake is not the best. I would certainly never want to rely on it and always used the toe brakes when holding, etc. Edited August 22, 20205 yr by Hippo
