SkyJousler Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Please help. I'm having trouble turning on to taxiway because nosegear won't turn. At least not sharply. The rudder works fine. So, what am I doing wrong. Thanks for the reply.:book:

So, what am I doing wrong. Thanks for the reply.:book: Your question has already been answered in this forum. There's a search button in the top right. There is no nose wheel steering in the MiG-21. You need to use differential braking. Happy flying! :)
112th_Rossi Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 1. Assign an axis to brakes (helps a lot) 2. As you move forward, hold down wheel break (or apply pressure to the brake axis) and twist rudder. 3. Your plane will start to turn. Takes a bit of practice. On my X52, I've assigned the brake axis to my thumb slider axis on the throttle. It means I can apply a bit of pressure to the brakes to make slight adjustments in my direction. It's helpful for lining up on runways.
Rongor Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 1. Assign an axis to brakes (helps a lot) Why would you recommend that in this case of the MiG-21bis? I put it on a button, so it is brake on or off and as far as I understand, brakes have to be in on state for the differential brake function of your pedals. So of what use may the axis be here?

Well, you can use differential braking if you are only braking 10%. With a button you are always braking 100%, independent if you need all the braking power or not. Anyway, after a landing, just slightly tapping the brakes is sufficient to slow the aircraft down to a safe speed. No need for full braking all the way.

With the brake on an axis you can fineadjust the amout of braking action. I turn by first pushing the pedal in the desired direction completely and then I apply the amount of braking I need for the curve. This prevents too strong braking forces and makes the steering smooth. Fox Spoiler PC Specs: Ryzen 9 5900X, 3080ti, 64GB RAM, Oculus Quest 3
Fishbreath Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Pressing the button isn't instant 100% brakes--it ramps up. You can modulate it to get a certain amount of braking less than 100%.

112th_Rossi Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I can apply a small amount of braking when taking off just until I have full rudder control to adjust my alignment. Also you don't want 100% on as you'll just end up kangarooing down the taxi way.
