I could bind a toggle for the brakes to the indicator.

Yep great idea. Is the at-startup-parking-brake working? I couldn't seem

No, there's some kind of a bug (it might just be that JSBSim is
overriding the initial setting), and I'll have to investigate.
All the best,

still see the textures, but they will be a bit blurrier.

Yup, that is what we should aim for.
But for 0.7.9 we need a solution

It happens - with multi-engine aircraft anyway. Some years ago a plane
