SYMPTOMS
========

The BRAKES indicator appear stuck on, as though the brakes are being
continuously applied, when you are using a joystick. This symptom indicates that
Flight Simulator is receiving an "on" signal from the game card (as if one of
the joystick buttons is being depressed).

RESOLUTION
==========

If brakes are always on there may be a problem with the game card, such as a
faulty chip. If you experience this problem, contact the game card
manufacturer.

Disable and unplug the joystick.
