July 4, 20241 yr I've read through 10 different past threads across AVSIM and other places about this issue, and I'm all out of ideas. Sometimes, quite frequently, if the Fenix A320 is stopped on the ground while taxiing, it refuses to move under its own power, only pushback works. Things I've tried / checked: Parking brake on/off Ground spoilers armed/disarmed Speedbrake on/off Autobrakes disarmed/max Slew mode to reposition aircraft on scenery Active pause Tap the toe brakes a bunch of times Unassign all "brake" related control inputs from control settings in MSFS Disconnect all controllers (Wingwing Ursa Minor & Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant) and just try to get the aircraft moving by clicking on the controls with the mouse. Restart fenix.exe Reset to a "ready" panel state I've flown both the FBW A320 and the Fenix a bunch of times, and these issues started today for seemingly no reason, and I'm all out of ideas. Any suggestions, ideas?

July 4, 20241 yr Author Sorry, yes, should have mentioned that too. I've tried toggling the chocks on and off a bunch of times. No difference.

July 4, 20241 yr I've found that on occasion, especially after an MSFS update, that phantom controller settings seem to be present and affecting my controls. Cycling through the various control configurations in the MSFS Controls menu for each hardware device has cleared it every time. For example, I use FSUIPC for controls on many of my acft, so for those planes the MSFS controls config is completely empty for my yoke, stick, and/or throttles, but when this happens it appears that something, perhaps coming down from the settings saved in the cloud, is present in the controls and fighting FSUIPC even though the controls config in MSFS shows empty. Cycling through all of the configs for each controller back to the desired one seems to clear that out. So maybe you have a phantom brake axis lingering in there.

July 4, 20241 yr Author Seeing as the problem persists even with my controllers disconnected and just using keyboard and mouse, I'm not sure that it could be a phantom axis, but I'll try cycling through the configs in case it makes a difference.
July 4, 20241 yr Author Is there no way to check whether brakes are being applied? Like I can visually confirm the toe brakes aren't being pressed, I can see the brake pressure gauge when I arm or disarm the parking brake, is there anything else I can check?
July 4, 20241 yr Author The other thing is, this only happens with the Fenix. FBW A320 and all other aircraft I have don't exhibit this issue, using the same control settings, same controllers. I get that the Fenix is a lot more complicated than the FBW, but this is just strange.

If you have FSUIPC, you can watch the internal brake offsets using the logging feature...log offsets 0BC4 and 0BC6 as type UINT16 and display in the MSFS title line. 0 is no brakes, 32767 is max braking. If it's more than zero, brakes are being applied.

Switched to the FBW A20N for now to get some flight hours in, but I'll try that out once I land and move on to the next flight plan of the day.
July 5, 20241 yr I did a complete reinstall of the fenix and i delete all the file about fenix and now the fenix work. Philippe Tremblay

I'll give that a shot too, thanks. No issues with either the FBW A20N or the PMDG B77W on flights last night, so this definitely feels like a Fenix issue and not a hardware issue.
