Using the template below will greatly help the team reproduce the issue and ease the process of fixing it. Before posting, search for an existing report. If you are not sure it’s a bug, please first report in User Support Hub.

3 tags are required - add them in the tag section next to the title above:

  • One for iteration (msfs-2024)
  • One for platform (steam)
  • One for aircraft (Most Airbus aircraft from inibuilds, even the Fenix A320, A319. and also the C172)

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Brakes are always stuck on even when they are released from hardware and inside the cockpit it’s in the off position, and yet full throttle engines at maxed power and aircraft not moving, stuck.

Once pushed back, using the default sim pushback that comes with the sim, stuck stuck.

I tried with GSX also, but no luck as soon as I’m pushed back and everything around me removed still stuck. I hear from others that they get their brakes stuck as soon as they land and can’t taxi to the gate

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue: Fenix A319, A320. All inibuilds aircraft that default with the sim and C172, that’s all aircraft so far that I used, others I have not used.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue? Yes, I removed all mods from the community and still happening,

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? It has happened countless times, last night five to six times

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Load aircraft “A320” into NFFN and 40 minutes later pushed back to the Left.
  2. once all things are removed and clear POWER and stuck, I only have one key for the brakes and nothing else is linked,
  3. Reload and try again, with A330 and still get stuck after pushback

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

What peripherals are you using, if relevant: TCA Airbus throttle and joystick pack.

[PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it? Nope

[PC, MSFS 2020 Only] Are you using DX11 or DX12? Using MSFS2024, so it’s DX12

[PC Only] What GPU (Graphics Card) do you use? RTX 3090

[PC Only] What other relevant PC specs can you share? Nothing else is connected at the time, regards other flight hardware

Maybe this helps: For my rudder pedals, I had to reverse the toe brake axes

3

I do not use any rudder pedals but I will check on my end for toe brakes, Is it called toe brake axes?

4

I’m not sure exactly and cannot check right now, but I searched the settings for “brake” and in the results, it was clear which were the ones I looked for

I have now had this problem in the Inibuilds A320 Neo V2, the A330 and the Fenix A320.
You do all the preparation including removing chocks.
Push back prepare to taxi and the aircraft will not move no matter what power you command or input to any joystick.
I have disconnected all joysticks and tried via keyboard nothing will clear it.
One thing I notice is that the front wheel also does not move to steer when this occurs.
It also seems to be random as a restart sometimes clears it and it works.
It is the most frustrating thing as you can spend 45minutes to and hour in preparation then have to close the sim and restart.

Adding to this post I have now had two sessions where a restart and try again results in no problem. So it seems to be that my joystick and bindings are not the source. It seems to be a random event.

To me its like an invisible set of chocks are still in place.

•yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
•The aircraft remains stuck on the ground after pushback. No brakes and locks are physically present. With all default aircraft inibuilds.

• yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• After pushback, try to put the throttles up and you’ll see that the plane doesn’t move. Its like if the chocks stills there. But they are invisible.

update,

It’s a known bug that people are reporting even on Fenix Discord and Asobo isn’t even acknowledging it

The only way to resolve it is for a temp fix which works for most not all…

Look for “Left brakes” and “Right brakes” on all devices under the controls settings and disable them all (I had it for the keyboard also)

Once keys for all devices have been removed, set “Left brakes” and “Right brakes” to your slider on your stick or something similar, for me the slider on the joystick, and if it gets stuck again use your sliders up or down to remove the brakes…

Most of my testing results to control setting “Left brakes” and “Right brakes” being popped, since I removed the “Left brakes” and “Right brakes” from all devices and to my sliders it has helped big time, even that it does play up, I moved sliders up or down to release the brakes helps

First poster here, seeking a solution for what might be a similar problem.

My setup is Steam PC, with “Ideal” Setup, and Logitech X56 HOTAS, Meta Quest 3 VR, no rudder pedals so using a button for “brakes” which traditionally was on/off and you could tap and release as much as you wanted.

Problem 1 - On most aircraft, when I start to taxi, the parking brake either does not release or I have to release it using the physical VR interaction in the cockpit or Crtrl Space. The assigned key often doesnt work.

Problem 2 - During taxi, lineup , and takeoff run etc the brakes (not parking brakes) are randomly applied, and result in the aircraft pulling hard to the left or right depending on the direction of travel. Very frustrating. one brake is on and randomly applied at any given time without command.
The brakes are set to a one way click and release switch (Joystick Button 1 / Trigger)

Any Ideas? Thanks!

Here the same problem FBW a320 after pushback the plane is stuck. Could it be that there are imaginary chokes

12

Have you read my post above your reply and see that is a work-around?

13

Did not work for me

the post from bas in this topic solved my problem

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged

As I said above this gay said more details as a TEMP fix!

But also depends on what hardware you ahve/use but shouldn’t be happening in the first place Xd
