Aptosflier Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Thought I'd give a "heavy" a try today, in the MSFS flight-training tutorial on how to take off. But I couldn't find the parking brake release in the cockpit, and control + num del key didn't work. How do you get this big guy rolling?

I don’t know about the in-cockpit Brake Release, but you can go into Controls for your keyboard and search for Brake to see what it’s currently set to.

floundy Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 You can manually click on the brake with your mouse, it should be down on the main throttle quadrant near the trim wheel and rudder trim. if youd like to cheat and use the keyboard the "P" key activates and releases the parking brake.

hyperope Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 It doesn't look like any other parking brake. It rotates 90 degrees between on and off. Towards the aft end of the console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPHILL3 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 The control + num del keys never work for me either for any aircraft . I always have to release it with the mouse on the brake lever.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparnold Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 You can also assign a joystick button to set and release the parking brake. I have button 11 on my Logitech 3D Pro joystick assigned as I don't want to move the view to that part of the instrument panel just to release it using the mouse.

I use TrackIR, and looking forward and down to find and then click on a parking brake in almost any plane can become challenging.
