Parking brake adjustment..

[f-16]

Is there anyway in the .CFG or .AIR to adjust the strength of the parking brake? The 757 I have creeps at 0.1 Kts with the parking brake on.

i dont think you can have the parking brakes set any higher... all i can find about parking brakes in the aircraft.cfg is this line:

parking_brake=1

that basically says "parking brakes are available", doesn't specify it's strenght


...hmm, when you say the plane creeps i figure you mean at idle throttle then, if that's the case it might be more engine-related than brake-related

i can't really be sure... it would help if you told us what particular 757 model you have there

I'm sure it's engine related. I have several AC's that do this but they stop if you shut the engines down.

Try bleeding the brakes?

The plane is a IFDG 757.

The static thrust is set to 40100.000. (too high?)

I have another similar question about Aired. What is the 1501 Engine fs2000 turbine entry for? Does this field affect FS2004 aircraft? (since it says FS2000)??

Yaaa, ok  I wish that would do it! Just send it to the mechanic.

Google it for "Virtual Mechanics", lots of hits

i know that a lot of POSKY aircraft have this thing for idling at .1 knots. so you sit there with your aircraft at idle, come back 5 minutes later with the nose half in the terminal...

...put a brick under the wheel...?
(Although the aircraft may go round and round in ever decreasing circles...until...).....
LOL...!

...I do find that turbo-props have an annoying habit of creeping forward with the parking brake on....I doesn't occur with piston props... ...!
...which is one of the reasons why I avoid turbo-props if possible... ...!
