Still struggling with toe brakes, can't find a working setting

Ah ha, FYI, I have toe brakes assigned in MS control panel to brake axis. :wink:

Have you set your parking brakes to realistic setting? If so you will need to press onto pedals (if using pedals or apply brakes with other assigned key) to apply the brakes then move the parking brake lever. For me I have set to realistic setting and this works flawlessly.

Sure, I thought that may have been the problem, but nope, that makes no difference!

Then there is something conflicting with the controls/key bindings somewhere, Have a look at your fsuipc/controls bindings.

That's my default for all aircraft, strangely not working on this one. Might have to wait for the sim update to come live, no good in the beta. Thanks for checking on it

Nope, checked that, still no joy. Going to start afresh tomorrow.

It's really bizarre to think that it works for some but not for others :unsure:

Maybe it's a beta thing?
