iFly MAX MSFS 2024 ‘Brakes’ (not parking brakes)

Featured Replies

I am having issues attempting to assign ‘Brakes’ in the iFly.  The generic sim commands in 2024 are not working using Landing gear/Brakes – Brakes (increment brake pressure Parameter N/A).  That works perfectly with the PMDG aircraft.  I understand that the iFly interface is quite different to PMDG.  I was hopeful that some learned folk here may be able to point me in the right direction to create a script to achieve this.

I use the trigger function on my Thrustmaster 16000 joystick with the ‘repeat’ function ticked in ‘Assigned Buttons’.  

As an aside, I have installed your Honeycomb Bravo Quad template for the ifly MAX.  It works a treat.  Thank you.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers Jock.

Sounds odd. 

I'm not at my sim at the moment, so I can only offer a bit of theory. If the normal brake axis events work, you could create a script to gradually increase brake pressure with a repeating button:

(A:BRAKE LEFT POSITION, Position) 1000 + 16383 min (>K:AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET) (A:BRAKE RIGHT POSITION, Position) 1000 + 16383 min (>K:AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET)

But I am not sure about the AVar, the SDK documentation says that its value goes from 0 to 32K. 
If that is correct, then the script must look like this:

(A:BRAKE LEFT POSITION, Position) 1000 + 32767 min 16384 - (>K:AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET) (A:BRAKE RIGHT POSITION, Position) 1000 + 32767 min 16384 - (>K:AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET) 

On Key Up you do this to release the brakes:

-16383 min (>K:AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET) -16383 (>K:AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET)

No problem here, I've just tested the BRAKES event with the iFly in MSFS 2024 - works as designed.

Thank you for your response and subsequent follow-up.

I will reassign this and see how I go.

 

Cheers
