So just to be sure, we are not missing anything. To remove the brakes what I need to do in mine is to press the toe brakes with my feet, use the mouse to disable the parking brake in the cockpit while keeping them pressed and then another tap on the toe brakes (to the maximum) to clear them fully and get rolling.
I’ve read in similar problems that people were using the keyboard shortcut, this was not working for me, even when keeping the toe brakes pressed. It will also not start moving after disabling the brake handle in the cockpit if I don’t clear them again with a tap.
FWIW, my hardware binding to toggle parking brakes has been working in the Aerostar. Not in the sim at the moment, is there a simple brakes option that I may have activated similar to the simple steering (or I may be thinking of a PMDG option for parking brakes)?
I’m having an altogether different problem. In VR, once I start moving on the ground, looking back at the wings, they start flapping uncontrollably. Like a baby bird trying to get off the ground. Get out of VR and they look perfect. For reference, I have a HP Reverb G2 running on a Nvidia 4070. Pretty old stuff I know, but it’s all I have. I have seen it posted on the A2A support forums so hoping for a fix in the next update.
Well, I have just installed the latest version, 0.9.6 I believe, but still flapping like a mad baby bird, trying to get out of it’s nest. As mentioned previously, I have a HP Reverb G2 running on a Nvidia 4070. Works perfectly for all my other aircraft in the sim buy no go with the Aerostar. It worked perfectly well with the first two iterations, but the last two updates have borked it.
Just finished two flights in 0.9.8 and wow! It is right up there with PMDG as the best flying models in 2024. TEB-PVD-SWF with a coffee stop in-between, what can I say, the feeling/flow is as if I made these two flights IRL. This is what it’s all about for me as a long time inactive PPI. Shot the ILS on both flights while enjoying the MVFR and excellence of this Aerostar. Go for it folks, its great already.
I would not expect the release to be soon, the failure model is still not finished and a lot of system failures are not in yet (everything that is breaker protected). Would prefer them to implement it and then give people enough time to test it and give feedback.
Besides, the early access phase gives us opportunity to bother them about silly but cool stuff like the inside temp thermometer that made it in
