Parking brake on startup

Is there someway to have the parking brake on when you select an A/C. Some turboprops have an annoying habit of creeping forward.

Like many other aircraft conditions, if you save your default flight with parking brakes set, any aircraft you select will have them set when you create a new Free Flight.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Dave. Tried that but no luck. Unless I am doing ir wrong. Checked fsx cfg but all mention of brakes are marked true.I am at a loss.In fs9 when you selected an a/c it always came up with the parking brake on. How did they do that in fs9?

FS9 and FSX work the same way in this regard, as I explained above. Your parking brakes were set in FS9 because the default 'default flight', C172 @ KSEA, had the brakes set.
