Title: The latest Update... :-( Parking Brake troubles MSFS2020 PMDG737
Post by: Alti on June 01, 2025, 01:32:43 pm
Hello Umberto!

I have DEINSTALLED the last version, deleted Virtuali in Appdata,
Installed the latest in MSFS2020 MSStore-Version. Hve virtual links only in Community.

But now after Push GSX LET ME NOT DISABLE THE PARKING BRAKE.
Push is over, i confirm good engline start all, Man and Trucks are going back to the Gate.
PMDG737 NOW I CAN NOT RELEASE THE BRAKE.
My Setting Simple or realistic. nothing helps.. Rudder pedals working fine

Not seen this trouble in PMDG737 before.
Have you really well done :-(

What can i do now??
Thanks.

For sure, it would be best if you use the simpler brake in the PMDG. However, something is not very clear from your message, so I'll ask:

- Is GSX JUST not detecting you turned off the Parking brake ? That might be a GSX issue.

- Is the Parking brake itself doesn't go off ?

In the last case, it cannot possibly have anything to do with GSX, which will NEVER act on the parking brake itself; it will just wait for you to act on it so, if it doesn't work, it's completely unrelated to GSX.

I have notice also this issue and not only with PMDG, but also with fenix. So is not a problem of simple parking brake what PMDG has as option. Short long story: confirmed pushback, confirm good engine start, the lady show me the pin, all equipment gone to the ramp, but when I start taxi, GSX still say: please set your parking brake immediately, like does not know that the cycle of pushback is finished. I didn t pay to much attention first, but now I see that I am not the only one havving this issue.

First, I'm still awaiting a reply from the OP if he's issue is GSX not detecting the brake, or the brake not working.

Your issue might be GSX for a split second not detecting the brake, but as I've said, GSX is not CONTROLLING the brake, on airplane so, if the brake doesn't work, it has nothing to do with GSX.

I remembered that little issue long time ago.
Try Ctrl + ; and it may be working. At least it worked in my side. That could be helpful

After the last update, the issue disappears. Now everything works as it should.

We haven't changed *anything* that could be remotely related to the parking brakes. And as I've said, even if the *detection* of the parking brake in GSX didn't work, the worse it can cause, would have GSX issuing message about set/remove parking brakes at the wrong time, but NOT the ability to USE the parking brake in the airplane, that's just not possible, since GSX will ever, ever, try to operate the parking brake by itself.

So, whatever it was, and whatever the fix was, it couldn't be GSX and it couldn't be fixed by a GSX update.
