Controlling the brakes via SimConnect

[JB3DG]

In FSX, if I attempted to use SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject to control the BRAKE LEFT POSITION and BRAKE RIGHT POSITION variables for a custom auto brake simulation, I would get no response even though the documentation states that they are settable. I haven't tried this in P3D v2 but if it hasn't been touched, any chance access to be made to these 2 variables?



Thanks

hey JB,



looks like a lot of the brake simconnect code was messed up. Adam will look into it and reply back here shortly.

Hi JB,



Thanks for pointing this out. We have discovered a legacy FSX issue, which is still present in Prepar3D v2.1. Currently, when you use one of those two SimVars, it simply triggers a brake press if the value is 1. In Prepar3D v2.2 we hope to fix this issue and respect the percent value.

Thanks a bunch :)
