Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes. Fly an R66 in an agricultural mission and at the end when you taxi off the runway or go to parking the final mission prompt is to "Press [Ctrl]+[Space] to Set Parking Brake. However since there is no parking brake, the mission cannot be completed.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Every mission I’ve tried with the R66 ends this way, with no reward, and no completion.

• Yes I have

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Exactly the same as original post. After reaching the parking spot, the game ask me to set the parking brake, but there is no parking brake in the R66

Yep. I even attempted changing my key bindings, but nothing works (probably because a helicopter with skids doesn’t have a parking break).

To add to that I have never used the parking plane on a small airplane in real life, so it should not be required at all.

Same issue here, can’t complete any R66 missions:(

I’ve also never put on (or seen) chocks on a small GA airplane. They’re either just left in a hangar (no brakes, no chocks) or tied down if staying outside.

It think the reason for not using parking brakes is that in small airplanes they are (as everything) a very light and simple construction. They have a tendency to “stick”, especially when enabled for a longer period (a few days or weeks). I was always told by the instructors to not use them, so I don’t.

They’re mainly not used because A. Airports are flat B. You usually tie them down because wind don’t care about wheels C. FBO’s and maintenance crews need to move them all the time.

The DEVs don’t play the game!

Same issue here after at the end of a passenger transport, cost me the last hour

I have the same issue. I did notice they changed the default keybind for rotor brake from CTRL+SPACE to CTRL+/ - however, neither work. I’m not sure the rotor brake works on the R66 to begin with.

I tried to use rotor brake, it doesn’t solve the issue. The problem is the non existent parking brake that you can’t set.
