Parking Brake fails to work
-
I engage the parking brake.
With the engines on, the aircraft moves.
I disengage and re-engage the parking brake.
The aircraft continues to move.I have searched the brake function in MSFS to see if anything at all was bound to it.
Nope.This is just from actuating the parking brake with the mouse.
Please help, this is bloody annoying.

There's very little custom or unusual that I'm doing with the parking brake, so it really should behave like any other aircraft in the simulator. I assume you've tried this with other planes? Despite you already searching for control bindings, my best guess is still that you might have the brake axis bound to hardware, because a toe brake signal from hardware will override the parking brake in MSFS.

I've tried this with other aircraft which all, of course, work fine.
I then yanked out all rudder/brake axis assignments in both Spad.next and MSFS24.
I reassigned using Spad.
Same thing.
Reassigned using MSFS.
Same thing.
Even when the parking brake works, which is will sometimes if I completely stop the aircraft from rolling with the brakes, then pull the parking brake while standing on the diff brakes, it will creep forward slowly.The wheel chocks only sometimes stay under the wheels--the EFB will either unselect them for me without asking, or simply fail to do anything.
I'm sure it's something on my end, but apart from taking a sledgehammer to it--which is close to the point I'm at--I'm not sure what will fix it.
I'd say "I'll reinstall MSFS24 and your software," but recently I've wiped windows so I've already done this step.

Okay, I think I have it. Dunno why all the other planes worked, but I had to update firmware and recalibrate my Crosswinds.
I swear under some circumstances that simulated aviation is far more complicated than the real thing. -
(Also thank you for your quick and insightful response!)
