Taxiing in the FW

[wouter038]

So i got the FW190 a while back take off i can now manage but taxiing the thing is difficult. I understand you need to use the toe brake, but seeing as i just have the stick i need to set a button to a button as a modifier for left and for right and well it doesnt work well, because i have to manage my throttle, the tailwheel, the toe brake, and look to see if im staying on the right line. There has to be a better way to do it withour getting an expensive foot pedal.

 

Any suggestions would be great.

bind toe brakes to buttons on your stick?

 

also check in the special options menu, check the helpers

I have a spare hat switch on my Warthog throttle, which I didn't need for anything in any DCS module, so I assigned toe brakes to it. Tapping it left/right works OK-ish - obviously smoothness of actual analog pedals is not possible with such a setup, but turning while operating throttle and taxiing slowly works good enough - after two years I got quite proficient at it :D.

Why don't you just rebind Z and X on the keyboard to be left and right brake? I used to do that before I got an X-55 and had spare buttons on the throttle.

 

Or, as others have said, just bind the left and right brakes to individual buttons if you have them spare.

Well atleast for me i can just assign an axis to it, i tried using the default control w and alt w and that seems to work pretty well now. Iguess thats the way to do it if you dont have set of footpedals.

oh yeah its just a little finicky i tried control w and alt, and i looked into the tailwheel a little more. I think i got it now thanks guys.
