Heavy toe brakes

Make your pedal toe brakes feel like an airliner's hydraulic brakes: smooth stops, no locked wheels.

Updated 2026-11-15

Stamp on the toe brakes of a desktop rudder pedal and the wheels lock at once. An airliner's hydraulic brakes build pressure over a moment. Heavy toe brakes give you that.

What changes

  • Pressure builds up over a moment instead of slamming on, slower on heavy aircraft.
  • The first half of the pedal is gentle, for smooth stops and slow taxiing.
  • Left and right stay separate, so differential braking for tight turns still works.
  • It works on PMDG aircraft too.

Set it up once

  1. Open Setup → Heavy toe brakes.
  2. Press Detect L and press the left toe brake.
  3. Press Detect R and press the right toe brake.

Tip: if your toe brakes are still bound in MSFS, both the sim and HeavyPro brake. Fix MSFS bindings in Setup also clears toe brakes bound in MSFS.
