• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA Continous parking brakes

My aircraft has a large lever to control the wheel brakes. Pulling the lever back a few notches you engage the differential brakes. By pulling it back more you engage the parking brake increasingly.
I tried to implement this behavior in FSX with no luck so far. It seems like the SDK is fouling me once again. It states that the BRAKE PARKING POSITION is of type
Position (0 to 32K) 0 = off, 32K full, settable

. But when I read the value of this variable with my debug gauge, I just get "0" and "1". I also tried to set the variable to 32000 but that also doesn't work.

Is there a way to code a "stepless" (parking) brake behavior?

Unfortunately, the parking brake variable is a bit useless, since there's no corresponding key_event to match.

The only key_event is an on/off toggle...
