112th_Rossi Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I can start this beast up, but I cant turn her on the taxi way. Is there a NWS button or axis assign?
golani79 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 There is an nosegear brake lever right of the emergency brake which you can set to navigation / landing. For making turns at low speed you need to use rudder and brakes - at higher speeds you should be able to steer with rudder only. Don´t forget to switch the nosegear brake lever back before take-off. >> DCS liveries by golani79 <<
Flagrum Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Nope. No nosewheel steering - you use differential braking. You need to brake and apply rudder. Be aware that you don't brake the wheels separately, but instead you actually release the braking force of the opposite wheel by applying rudder for turining into the desired direction. Example: you apply 50% brake -> both wheels decellerate now you apply, i.e. right rudder -> the LEFT wheel is braked LESS while the right wheel is STILL braked with 50% braking power -> you turn right
112th_Rossi Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 Dem Russians. Always making things so simple... :/ Thanks!
Random Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Same as used in British aircraft for decades. Hand lever plus bias via rudder deflection was standard up until pretty recently in the UK Thats the reason that the "brakes on" hand signal is open hand to clenched fist, and vice versa.
Suchacz Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Same as for L-39 Albatros. It's the oposite situation as in RL. Now in DCS World - MiG-21 is a training aircraft for the Albatros :D Per aspera ad astra!
