Sorry if somebodys posted this problem before but its bugging me all of my aircraft move slowly forward even with the parking brake applied

Hi razorraw and welcome to the SimViation Forums

Do you happen to use a Joystick with a throttle slide on it? I had similar problems so i had to carefully calibrate the joystick again, then it seemed to work.
Hope this helped,

Cheers jimbo ive tried this ive recalibrated it but it still creeps forward so if your parked at a gate at gatwick(uk2000 scenery) you end up with the nose stuck in the terminal (and its a bit worrying for the crew and passangers haa haa) cheers for your help though

Nothing much else i can suggest, what aircraft does this happen with, and which size gate are you choosing?
With the heavys you need to choose a larger gate and sometimes the aircraft can "dig" into the gate.

Thanks

Jimbo

try pressing the f1 key to make sure the throttles are at 0% what planes?

It happends with me with the Daisuke's F-18.... when im trying to take off from a carrier

Zitin

Only fix I know of is a registered version of FSUIPC and calibrating the throttles through it. Works wonders for turbo props.

But i mean when i have the trottle at max power

Zitin

That's totally normal the engines are extremely powerful
It's the same thing with defaukt boeing or even Cessna it's normal brakes aren't powerfull enoufgh to prevent the aircraft from moving

But when you are in a carrier it says to heat engines during 1 minute and then leave brakes... but i always fall down

zitin

Forget the engine heating in FS, just throttle up, release brakes and launch the catapult (if you have the right program).

Just thought I'd throw in that this is a problem with the aircraft.cfg, where either the brake values are not strong enough or the engine power is too strong at idle.  Will somebdy please post the .cfg fix for this please?

if sliding the throttles down to zero isn't working, see if you autothrottle isn't turned on...

FS likes to believe that all planes have autopilot, so if you leave it on in one plane, and then switch to another that doesn't have a/p, it will still be turned on...

press SHIFT+R to toggle the autothottle... then throttle down... see if it helps

Moach

I have the exact same problem, it isn't the auto pilot, isn't the throttle.

For me it is like this, 737 (or just about anything) @ idle with one press of F2, parking brake on. Just leaving it a idle, walk to the bathroom and ..... come back and the plane has rolled forward almost into the termanal or has crashed into the termanal.

hey, this is my first post...anyways...for most aircraft I too have the same problem but you have to keep in mind that most airliners don't start their engines until they have pushed back from the gate. But if the engines are started at the gate chalks keep the aircraft from inching forward. Personally, for realism, I choose to start my aircraft from a "cold and dark" cockpit. This allows me to crank the engines only after I have pushed back.

just my two cents...
