Starting with Parking Brake on

Postby Sean Grenyer » Sat Sep 08, 2007 6:06 am

Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible in FSX to load an aircraft with the parking brake automatically on?

My new Airbus payware add-on won't let me load the plane in a Cold & Dark state unless the brake is set.

Cheers

Not that I have played about with FSX configs yet, but if it is like 2004, go into the aircraft config file of the aircraft in question and look for the line about the brakes and change it from "0" to 1. However before you do that, just have a look. To see if I am correct and wait for one of our resident gurus to confirm or correct what I have said.
The other option is to load the aircraft, set it to the state that you want and then save that as a flight. Next time you start FSX, just load that flight and the aircraft should be in the state that you want to start in, cold and brakes on.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Sean,

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.
