Steering/braking: Current, simplified behaviour or realistic?

Bart, you may want to read the replies in the other thread where you posted the same text before taking the discussion further here...

I gave 1.10u3 a try. There's still a small amount of 'nosewheel steering effect' at low speed, but significantly less—turning onto the runway at low speed requires differential braking. I also find it easier to control. I think it was Corrigan who commented that the previous fake NWS effect required you to take into account the NWS effect and the differential braking effect when making steady-state turns now, but since turns are nearly all differential braking, it's less trouble to combine the two. You just set your pedals for the turn you want and hit the brake.

Awesome that they changed it so quickly. Seriously impressed by LNS as devs. We, as a community, let them know what we thought about something, and a significant change is made in the first real post-release patch, like a week later. Thanks, really.

Just tested it and I got the same results. Very nice LNS! :thumbup:

 

I would still like to see an option under misc settings where there is no nose wheel steering no matter how minimal - as it should be.

I'll +1 that, but I think a slider would be super-nifty, a la P-51 takeoff assist.

Very much liking the newer version :)

Thanks LNS!

Slider is an excellent idea. Much like P-51 and Fw-190 rudder assisted take off slider.

I think the more realistic steering is a very cool feature! Thanks for that LS :thumbup:

 

It is *interesting* to learn but also gives that important feeling of an actual Mig-21. And these things are where DCS in a whole is shining example to others: how to make aircraft that actually work and give you that feeling of actual aircraft.

 

I don't object to giving a steering assist in the options as long as it does not affect this handling.
