How do you turn the parking brake off?

Sir, I believe this is very much the wrong time to ask for feedback on aircraft when everybody is angry because the simulator is not working / loading properly.

Feel free to ignore my opinion but to me it makes much more sense to ask these questions when the waters aren’t as rough as they are now.

The sim is working fine? If you still have issues with it you might want to contact zendesk.

This is one crazy aircraft :). This one works perfectly in missions.

Click on the Pilot’s Brake Pedals, real-life Draco does not having parking brakes, but we have added them for a better experience in-sim. Less chasing your aircraft down hills :wink:

The throttle is always at 100 % for me even when the physical lever is showing idle. What am I doing wrong?

Mike is pretty capable in design it, draft it, build it ( and indeed, wrecking things is another talent)
I was a bit amazed that draco lacks parking breaks IRL…
That should be cheapest part…
Happy :small_airplane:

Imagine putting THAT engine on THAT plane and not caring for parking brakes. Mike is a legend lol I love him

So far in 2024 (with limited play) this is one of the bright spots for me. Really fun to fly.

Not sure if I am missing something but the terrain view is dark for me in the main left Garmin - if I split the view in the right Garmin, the terrain view is showing the terrain as expected - any option I need to turn on to see the terrain properly in the left Garmin ?

Same here. Its usually a binding conflict but I thoroughly checked for this.

Yes, I thought the same. Even when I’m moving the throttle lever with the mouse it says 100 % all the time. It’s a shame, people seem to enjoy this plane but I guess I’ll have to fly other aircraft for now.

Thanks. Can I ask if you’re using multiple peripheral controls? I’m wondering in cases like ours whether it’s because of this, even if the other profiles have no bound throttle inputs?

Well, I’m using a Flitesim yoke and Honeycomb Bravo but I guess most people have a similar type of setup with no issues. I did try to unplug the Bravo and just use the mouse to control the throttle but no success. If there was a conflict issue it should affect other aircraft too which it doesn’t.

It’s really weird how just a few of us have problems with the Draco. The PC-24, for example, is broken for everyone.

That’s interesting thanks. Same effect here, but I am having similar issues with other aircraft.

Great plane, really enjoyed it! Perfect for bush flying, but it’s a proper beast, so need to be careful :smile:

I’m using the bravo too and had no issues. Double check if the throttle is set to throttle 1 axis (not throttle 1 axis 0-100%) and that it is set to inverted when you click the little tandwheel

It actually worked yesterday when I tried it out again. It was probably just a temporary bug.

If someone else has this problem I wouldn’t waste my evening looking for double bindings or something like that. Just restart the sim or wait until the next day.

Was anybody successful binding the condition lever using AxisAndOhs or a similar tool?
