June 18, 20241 yr Downloaded the Duke turbine. Everything was working fine. But now the throttles go crazy flickering up and down. Put The throttle all the way up and it scoots back down to idle. I have the latest download for the Duke. I rechecked my control settings and everything seems to be ok. This has to do with the Duke only. I switched to the Baron and other dual engines and the throttle works fine. Any ideas what I have to do to fix this? Thanks Walt Walt Popowski

Thanks Walt Are you using the same controller profiles for the planes? You say 'Baron'...you mean the BlackSquare Baron? Would suggest creating a new config file by copying the Baron and then deleting all axis assignments and setting up again. So you don't mess up your working Baron! Sounds like you might have an axis assigned to 2 ops at once or vice versa. Russell Gough SE London

And I can't find another binding connected with the throttle. I'm sure that's what it is tough. I just have to find it. Here's the thing though. Some times without making any changes, it works fine. Next time it could act squirrelly. Go Figure huh? Thanks everyone for the response though. It is greatly appreciated. Walt Popowski

The 739 is fine with the SAME exact config setup file but the parking brake will NOT work. Press the button and it tries to engage but something somewhere is conflicting. Whatever it is it's NOT in the MSFS config setup anywhere, parking brake I deleted every key/button/shortcut you name it but...will NOT work. I can live with that.

No the brake is bugged - it rattles/shakes and wont toggle. Can't put it ON so taking it OFF is not possible either! Russell Gough SE London
June 19, 20241 yr Author Not sure exactly I did, but it is now working. Thank all of you for your response and help. What a great bunch of guy's. Thanks again Walt "Happ Flying" Walt Popowski

Ditto for me, PMDG almost two decades as I was day 1 or so buyer of the original PMDG 747 - 400. The PB “trick” is very recent, less than a year(?) done for “accuracy” and had caused much sturm and drang at mothership board/forum -B Edited June 20, 20241 yr by btacon

WHEN it wasn't bugged like now. Worked fine before one of the updates. Parking brake lever will NOT move. It only shudders in it's current position as if there is a button conflict. Except there isn't. Works fine in the 900 version which is weird, maybe it will start working again randomly! Russell Gough SE London
