I first thought this was a problem with the JF Piper Arrow III, tonight however it occurred with the Robin DR400 Regent.
When I land on the runway, throttle set to idle and apply brakes, the plane slows down fine and when I release the brakes and apply a little throttle to taxi off the run way the plane stops altogether as if the the parking brake is engaged, which it isn’t.
Full throttle and I’m getting no where until I tap the brake pedals and away I go.
Any one else experienced this or could it be my rudder pedals and / or settings?
Cheers
Martin.
I’m also experiencing this. Doesn’t seem to matter what plane I fly, although mostly I’m in the C172, Bonanza or Mooney. It also happens with the SR22 and TBM.
Unlike you, however, I can’t even get the brakes to release by tapping brake pedals. I have to enable and then disengage the parking brake and then everything is fine.
I will try resetting the rudder pedal sensitivities etc and see what happens, may be a controller issue.
Failing that I will raise a support with Zendesk, at least let them know about it, if they don’t already.
Cheers
Update
I didn’t reset the settings, I decided just to test it again and I couldn’t replicate it this time, it seems it may be a random error somewhere which causes it, otherwise it would be happening all the time.
This could be difficult to fix as it’s so random, I’ll have to see if there’s some sort of pattern to it, if I can replicate every time then at least that will give some idea to the problem area I suppose.
Cheers
In my case, it happens all the time, every time without failure. It’s not a controller or settings issue. When I discovered this issue after the last patch, I thought that may be the case as well. Even with my pedals disconnected, it did the same thing.
This is just another annoying bug introduced with a patch. Nothing more, nothing less. At least it’s not game-breaking and easy to work around when you know about it.
Same problem here, I noticed it in the ATS P149, the brakes apply at touchdown by themselves, the plane brakes down. However I can release them when I tap my brake pedals.
I haven‘t tried to find a culprit yet. But another aircraft causing it is possible at least.
Yeah, can’t get it to happen again tonight now, so for me it’s very random, may try emptying the community folder except for the pay ware stuff and see what happens for a couple of days.
I had a feeling that it only happens when I extend a landing gear, fixed gear aircraft were not affected but I need to make that sure.
This aircraft has the option to set autobrake when landing?
Suggest looking at key bindings. Search for autobrake. The behavior you are describing is exactly how the autobrake system works. It is disengaged by applying manual brake. We have all seen odd keybindings appear and disappear with updates.
Just a thought.

You’re right. It does appear like the behaviour of autobrake. Just checked settings for autobrake on all my peripherals. I have no bindings for it on any of them. And there’s nothing in my assistance options related to braking either, so that can’t be it. Besides, I have everything set to hard there anyway.
So perhaps that’s what’s happening and it’s enabling autobrake on planes that shouldn’t support it, but there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do about turning it off.
Interesting. I’ve just discovered another way to make this happen. If I hit ESC while taxiing and go into the options menu, when I resume, it will have the same effect of braking and locking up the brakes completely.
And it would appear that I was partly mistaken in my initial post. I can indeed unbind the brakes with my pedals. I need to completely floor the brakes. I likely wasn’t doing that properly before.
I‘ll check that too when I‘m on the ground
That’s exactly the issue, at least for me. And it’s why it happens to me pretty much every flight. I rarely can get a full flight in without having to pause at least once during the session. I pause while in the air, and when I land, my brakes are locked up.
I just tested this by doing a few circuits of my local airport without pausing, and no issue. Then I paused while in the air, resumed, and couldn’t do my touch and go as my brakes were locked up. Even at full takeoff power, my plane came to a stop.
I am just sitting in the FBW A320 and noticed that when I go to the ESC-menu and come back it extends the spoilers to 50%. Coincidence?
Edit: AND the right engine!! (I have both engines assigned seperately)
WU4 introduced a bug where using the ESC would cause your throttle quadrant levers to automatically go to 50% when returning to the game. The hotfix fixed that. But apparently there were more issues attached to the ESC menu than that 1 bug. Either no one noticed, or it’s just certain people experiencing it.
ESC key usage (for me) is the likely culprit. Has only happened once - in the JF Arrow III - and I wrote it off as something I did incorrectly. 
I’m pretty sure the 50% throttle quadrant after ESC bug is still there for me, even after the hotfix. I’ll check later tonight.
yes definitely still a bug.

I was going ask if it’s normal for a jet (FBW A320) to pull to the left. I thought it should go straight if balanced…
Maybe I have the same issue.
Odd. It stopped doing the throttle thing for me after the hot fix. I haven’t had it happen since. And I’ll pause with the ESC key at least once in every flight.
