Nardi Riviera Brake Stuck!?

[LTCSZ]

I recently purchased the Riviera, and it seems like a nice amphibious plane except: I cannot get it to move! I revs up fine but it will not move. It seems like it is trying to do so, but it just sits there. Does anyone else have this problem? I have cleared all of the control bindings so there should be no conflicts there. None of my other planes have this problem. I sure would appreciate any assistance. I'm pulling what little hair I have left out! Thanks a lot.

Heya!

You mean cant get it to move on water? Do you have the anchor out maybe?

I have not tried it on water. This situation is on a runway. I have tried everything that I have found on several different forums and apparently it is a common problem with this airplane. Any suggestions are appreciated. I sure hope I can get it working! Thanks for the reply.

I have also re-downloaded the plane twice so that should have solved the problem but it didn’t. I have seen posts about keeping the tow brakes pressed for two seconds before releasing the parking brake but that didn’t make any difference either.

I meant tow brakes as in TOE

Strange, but the plane will move backwards in reverse thrust, but not forward!

If the developer is reading this Forum, I sure would appreciate some assistance. I have tried everything I know to get this airplane to move on the runway, yet it won't budge. Is there a new version in the works soon? Any suggestions you might have would be most appreciated! Thank you...

Hello from the Dev!

I have found out that this aircraft does not work under "Legacy" flight model. This is to be expected, as it uses the new advanced propeller simulation. In legacy mode, the aircraft will not move.

MSFS provides me with an option to force "Modern" flight model regardless of user selection. This configuration option is active in the FN-333, however it may be bugged!

Can you ensure you are using the "Modern" flight model?

When I switch to legacy flight model, the aircraft will not budge, being it reverse or forward flight. It will however exhibit pitch changes, as if thrust was there. 

 

Also, propeller reverse shall be operated while having the propeller lever to full forward, as per the AFM. It however shall work either way.

I had a report of such an issue previously, So far, I have been unable to reproduce it.

I will investigate more!
