I cant seem to get the toe brakes to release the parking brake.

Using saitek rudder pedals.

On any Aircraft.

Any ideas?

Thanks 

Mike

In the MSFS2024 Controls settings, click the small 'cog' next to your pedals.  This takes you to the calibratoin and settings for your pedals.

Place a small "Extremity Null Zone" value, so that the brakes don't apply until you've pressed the pedals a centimetre or so.

Worked for me when I first got MSFS2024 and had exactly the same problem.

There are some aircraft though, as in the case of the PMDG 737 and the Comanche to name a couple, that first you have to press the pedals, then disengage the parking brake, and the let go of depressing the pedals for the parking brake to disengage.  If you do not follow this procedure (which is real life procedure), the PB will not disengage.  Make sure this is not the case with the aircraft you're testing with.  Hope this helps.

Thanks guys i will definitely give those recommendations a try.

 

Thank you.

I’m new to 2024 and at first I was hopelessly lost. But after watching some outstanding videos I’m now completely comfortable with it. I hope it works for you.

Drives me nuts too. They certainly took something in 2020 that didn't need changing and very much broke it. For no apparent reason.  

sounds like you have the axis for each toe brake reversed. There is a setting in the axis setup to reverse axis.

Thank you will try this also.

 

Im surprised that we were not given an option to export our 2020 settings over.

Would been easier, ide assume?

Well, it's a game after all. M$ and Asobo could care less about the enthusiasts.

And now with the console versions out or in work, even less attention will be given to the PC community.

For all those complaining - take the time to learn the new system. It is very powerful and future ready - they didn't just add all these features to make our lives more difficult.

And if you think they added all this complexity and the ability to use extremely complicated simpit setups to cater to console users (that crowd of people who famously like to tweak low level settings /s), I don't know what to tell you 😄
 

Here are some helpful videos

Very much this. I started getting back into 2020 shortly before moving to 2024 so both control systems were relatively new to me. The interface in 2024 really isn't any more difficult than 2020 it is just a bit different and, as said above, more capable.

I still think it's a solution in search of a problem.

Possibly, but since it's what we have to use (and it IS powerful and does work fine once you figure it out), learning it makes sense. 

Ideally we get a much better interface sometime, but that's just wishful thinking. Choices are take it or leave 2024, so that's really your choice. And really I am thankful that there are at least 3 major civilian sims (24,20,XP) that we can switch between as needed, plus a bunch of smaller ones. Choice is good!
