Please Help Noob. B Brake key not working

[husker37]

All,

After a couple of years of watching IL2 from afar, I just finally bought it. 9.99 from Steam. Can't beat it.

I've played it quite a bit, but there is one thing I can't seem to get working. The B key for brakes isn't working. I started a career in the Pacific as a USN pilot, and the only way I can get off the carrier is to use the Autopilot to release the brakes. Originally, I had problems with the G key for the gear, until some research showed me the F4 needs to manually retract gear. I'm hoping that there is something similar I need to be doing to release the brakes off a carrier.

Thank you.
