Already saving for it!

[Phantom88]

Very interesting Aircraft,Should be Fun!

[woweezowee]

not sure, it's a hell of an ugly plane

[cruster]

I'm in; should be a nice little workhorse in FSE.

I'm absolutely in for this one. Not sure why, but I've always loved the look of the 337. Maybe the shape reminds me a little of the seaduck from DuckTales (loved that as a kid).

That will be in my Hanger before it's wheels touch the ground

[Phantom88]

She's out now on Carenado's Site!!

[ryancz]

I already bought it. Love it

[edwin]

Nice one Guys---downloading now--Cheers

[edwin]

She's a beaute but I cannot find any sign of a handbrake or brake warning light--hate having to guess whether its on or off--You Guys know if there's one?

[steven winslow]

Nope, there is no brake handle modeled in the C337.

[edwin]

Thanks--Not like Carenado--Wonder if theres a brake on the real Plane or whether you stick your feet out like we did on our 1960 Go-Karts??

[mutestyles]

You have to stick your feet through the floor and skid your feet like the flintstones

1 - buy a Teensy board

2 - install Arduino and Teensyduino and the TeensyControls plugin

3 - plug the Teensy in and open the Arduino IDE

4 - enter this code:

FlightSimFloat brakes;

void setup() {
  brakes = XPlaneRef("sim/cockpit2/controls/parking_brake_ratio");
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  FlightSim.update();
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, (brakes > 0.0));
}

5 - set Arduino IDE to 'Flight Sim Controls' and upload this code onto the Teensy

6 - launch X-Plane and admire the little orange light that comes on whenever your brakes aren't completely off.

[edwin]

Thanks for both the Laugh & the info Guys--I'll try Dozers suggestion--I've already gone through three pairs of heels on those Outback gravel runways

[ryancz]

Buy rudder pedals with toe brakes.

I slow down quite fine.

[edwin]

Oh the brakes operate well enough--And the handbrake can be set--I just don't know when they're off or on--you'd get through some brakes in reality if you kept touching down with them locked on.

I only fly 3D panels & always use Trakir which means I practically never use the Keyboard nor program the X52--I use the rat mouse as a hand/fingers and virtually control everything by hand.
