stray cat Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Is it possible to tune the speed at which keypresses reach 100% on wheel brakes? The braking on the dora by using keys takes 1 second to reach 100% and I would like to change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahdoh Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Not sure about that, but have you tried rapidly pulsing the button to reduce the braking effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray cat Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 The problem is more that I would like to have a more instant brake, currently the braking is delayed so much that when I see the brake oversteering it is already too late. More concentrated quick braking would fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yep, the delay makes corrections difficult, if the plane turns too much, it's almost impossible to catch it with opposite brake. You should have seen me yesterday after buying Dora, trying to taxi for the first time, rolling off the taxiway left and right and getting seriously frustrated (I don't have rudder pedals either). But I noticed that was pretty much the same what happens with Mustang in unlocked-wheel mode and If I could tame the Pony, Dora should not be harder. The only difference is - in Pony you taxi in unlocked mode only every now and then when you have to make a tight turn, while in Dora you have to deal with it almost all the time. After half an hour of "test drives" I think I've got it covered - you just have to make sure the plane never steers too much - as soon as you see it yawing just a bit, hit the opposite brake key/button immediately, but don't hold it, just dab it. Using rudder helps as well, because even with about 1000-1200 RPM setting the propstream gives you a tiny bit of rudder authority - not enough for full control, but enough to correct the line by ~3 degrees or so. Obviously, you don't want to taxi too fast either. All and all, guys who own proper rudder pedals with toe brakes will always have advantage over us, but with a bit of training I'd say we can manage the ground handling of this bird as well. I admit, however, that tuning response speed of brake buttons could be somewhat useful. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

MACADEMIC Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 This goes for any digital (0/1) inputs, be it keyboard or button, for example throttle increase/decrease. They should be user definable. This is presently not possible as far as I know. MAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
