Alternatively, press the Scan for input button and toggle the connected switch to automatically detect and select the correct switch.

On the Input tab, select the On Press input setting tab. Use the Action Type dropdown to select Microsoft Flight Simulator. Then use the Filter Preset List dropdowns to filter by Microsoft, Generic, and Controls.

Select the parking brake on preset

Use the Select Preset dropdown to select the PARKING_BRAKES_ON preset.

Configure the On Release action

Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the On Release tab, selecting PARKING_BRAKES_OFF for the preset.

Close the dialog and name the config

Click the OK button to close the dialog, then double-click on the New Input Config name in the main window.

Type in a meaningful name for the new config, for example Parking brake, and press enter to apply the change.
