Cherokee braking all the time

Post by rockliffe »

The toe brakes do not function at the moment and never have on the Saitek combat pedals, and so I have the brakes assigned to one of the yoke buttons. This is pertinent to all my aircraft. I know, far from perfect. For some reason, which is unique to the Cherokee, I find the aircraft brakes continually when taxiing or on take off. I don't apply any brakes, only the rudder pedals as normal. This is something that has just started to happen. Any help would be appreciated, cheers guys.

Hi Lewis, they have never worked. Not through FSUIPC or LINDA. i have just got SPAD but not yet configured them. However, the issue has only just arisen and I don't know why.

Make sure the sensitivity for the brake axis is set to maximum for that controller and also make sure that the axis is not reversed.

How is it not working on the pedals? If its just full applied all the time then you need to check the reverse tick box.
