Ctrl+Space does the thing.
Also I have set the hot air balloon moored option on in the assistance option. With that the hot air balloon stays on ground when spawning, and when you are ready do takeoff, you also loosen your balloon with Ctrl+Space.
I think it‘s the parking brake binding.

What physical control are you trying to bind to those commands? Those are button-press commands and they’re currently all bound to the same analog axis. Looks like some axis is constantly being activated and overriding whatever button you’re trying to assign to those commands.
Glass you have (2) conflicts. The (2) tells you that you have other things programmed to that RAXIS. Note*** For Gear Up/Down use a Button on your stick, not an Axis.
Hope this helps. FYI Click the lil gear Icon at right of control and delete all and start over.
These are not buttons but levers tried everything there are three throttle ok mixture ok except the gear up and down ?
Program a Button on your Stick or Flight Yoke.
Example…Button (1) Gear Up/Gear Down.
Done that that works , keyboard also

The levers are analog. You’re trying to program a digital (see where it says digital?) command to a lever. That will not work. Throttle and mixture are analog commands. That will work.
The commands you’re trying to program need to be bound to switches or buttons.
Had it set up for FS2020 worked fine
Ok will have to do with a button thanks for your help

OKay, did a little researching and figured it out. In 2020, axes could be assigned directly to a digital input based on what direction you moved the axis in while setting it. So you went to map “Gear Up” and moved your lever up and it assigned it to “Axis Z +” and “Gear Down” was “Axis Z -”
2024 doesn’t do it that way. It just assigns it to “Axis Z” (Hooray for backwards progress!) BUT, you can fix it. Click the gear icon next to “Gear Down” and you’ll get the screen shown below. Remove whatever the two-way axis assignment is (in my example, “JOYSTICK LAXIS Z”) and activate the correct + or - choice.
I imagine you’ll need to go into “Gear Toggle” and delete the axis assignment altogether so there’s no conflict.
Great thanks at last got that working

You’re welcome. Glad you got it. Researching it helped me figure some stuff out too. 
The 2024 controller settings UI is more powerful than 2020, but it’s certainly not user friendly. I donno if it’s necessarily worse than 2020, but it is its own new form of garbage.

It works but it’s an absolute bug fest, spotty visuals and further compounded by poor performance.
Working for me today pretty well. Blurry bad textures still occur but they’re gone in a second upon loading. Ideally never should be there tho
The old FS20 problem with Slew mode x and y axis translate being too fast and too coarse is still with us (I was hoping they would fix this but alas, no). The only way I’ve found to get small, slow translation movements in Slew mode is to bind the Joystick X and Z axes to the X and Z axis Slew Modes. It works, kind of, but on less expensive joysticks with potentiometer motion sensors, it’s twitchy. Better quality joysticks with Hall effect / magnetic sensors might work more smoothly, but this is still a less than desirable way to control slewing. There needs to be keybindings for Slew Translate Forward/Backward/Left/Right (SLOW), same as there are for Up and Down. If anyone knows of another workaround to get slow, fine translation movements in Slew Mode, let me know.
Is there a GA plane with a working autopilot that will follow the loaded flight path and hit the waypoints? It’s not the C172.
Thanks! You’re correct, it’s the parking brake keybind. The balloon is fun, but I’ll have experiment more with it. I ran out of propane when the fuel display still said 45%. The pressure gauges on the 4 tanks and the burner header are all non-functional, so they’re no help to try and figure out why I ran out. All four tank valves were open. Maybe the propane got too cold at the highest altitude during the flight and there was a freeze-up in the fuel lines?
