Set parking brake

Featured Replies

I have a push pull switch that I would like to assign the parking brake too. I used the toggle parking brake assignment up and down, and it works but it seems to never be in the right position unless I go into the cockpit and set it accordingly there and then I can use the hardware switch. I would like to try using the set parking brake assignment and have parameters for on and off if this is possible in Axis and Ohs. I have searched the manual and can't seem to find anything, or I don't understand what I am reading.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill

These "Events" aren't actually AAO assets - the place to look for solutions is the simulators SDK documentation. AAO is basically just a bridge between you and the SDK.

Off the top of my head, K:PARKING_BRAKE_SET is probably the event that you want. This must be wrapped into (two) RPN Scripts in AAO, then you can assign those scripts to the end positions of your lever.

Parking brake off:
0 (>K:PARKING_BRAKE_SET)

Parking brake on.
1 (>K:PARKING_BRAKE_SET)

But be mindful that this can be different for every single aircraft, especially when you are using MSFS.

And, unless you have some special hardware, the position of your lever cannot be queried. So at the very least you have to cycle it up/down before your flight to sync it with the sim.

If you are using FSX or P3D, the _SET event doesn't exist, and ON/OFF must be done the hard way:

PB off (send the toggle only when the PB is currently on)
(A:BRAKE·PARKING·POSITION,·Position)·1·==·if{·1·(>K:PARKING_BRAKES)·}

PB on (send the toggle only when the PB is off)
(A:BRAKE·PARKING·POSITION,·Position)·0·==·if{·1·(>K:PARKING_BRAKES)·}
