Long Shot, I may not get an Answer but at least I'm Trying ;) :p (I've already posted this via Fs-Developer's page been sitting there for days, although i did get some replies but Solution)
Hello to all, there's an existing Freeware Aircraft that I'm trying to get to work with 3rd Party Program GSX PRO, This Aircraft at one point "DID NOT" work with GSX PRO due to GSX PRO not detecting Parking Brakes, hence giving the Message, You need to set Parking Brakes to Request Ground Services" I've already fixed that part.
I took it upon myself to investigate further and came up with a Partial Solution via Trial and Error. I now managed to get this working with GSX Pro, "well kind of".
Partial Solution:
To get it to work I Simply added the missing Lines refering to Parking Brakes to the corresponding files listed Below, under [Controls.0] [ParkingBrake=100.00 and ParkingBrake=0.] In the proper places where the entry wasn't present.
I've compared it to another freeware Aircraft to find where the entries belong and added them accordingly to the one that was missing the Entries.
Also, in Systems.cfg Under [bRAKES] I Changed the line from Parking_brake=0 to Parking_brake = 1 ; BrakeTypes enum.
After making these changes, GSX now detects the brakes when applied and now everything 'kind of' works as it should, but when pushback is engaged, and Parking Brakes are Released it doesn't detect the parking brakes being released, hence giving me the message to release Brakes continuously even after releasing.
I've contacted one of the Admis over @ GSX via PM and he replied with, (GSX uses the same test for parking brakes on set and release, there's no reason it could work any differently). he then asked If this plane is using a custom variable for brakes.
So, continuing forward, I now know this Aircraft uses its own Custom Variable for Brakes that GSX PRO is not Detecting, The Fix I made somehow Bypasses or Ignores whatever variable is set for Parking Brakes being Set within one of the Aircraft’s XML Files but unfortunately not for Release when Pushback is engaged via GSX Pro.
Since it’s only a Partial Fix the release Parking Brakes issue is present cause GSX PRO cant detect the brakes are released due to the Custom Brake Variable, I have been digging for answers online to see if someone can give me a Solid Answer as to how I can Edit this Brake Variable to get it to fully work with GSX Pro but to no Avail.
