BlitzPuppet Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 DCS FC3 Su-27. Added axes for separated pedal wheel brakes and nose wheel steering control I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this! Will make ground control that much easier.

grunf Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I wanted brake axis for a long time too, glad it's finally here. :thumbup: How does braking work in real Su-27, are there two separate toe brake controls for each wheel, or are both wheel brakes engaged simultaneously, like in MiG-21 and L-39?

BlitzPuppet Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I believe the brakes are differential, one for each foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escaner Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It has both controls: differential brakes in the pedals for normal operation and a paddle brake in the stick for takeoff. BTW, they also added a Nose Gear Steering switch (LALT + Q). The switch flips in the left console, but I can't see any light indicating whether it is engaged or not.

Unfortunately this will break every track made prior to this update that included taxiing. Oh well. Such is the price of progress, I guess.

Spectre11 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 IIRC wheel brakes were simultaneously controlled with the pedal switch on the stick front. Dunno whether differential brakes are really realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShuRugal Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 well, what a happy coincidence: I've just fixed the right toe-brake in my pedals so it works again. Now i have something to use it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team m4ti140 Posted January 31, 2017 ED Team Share Posted January 31, 2017 From what I deciphered when studying the Su-27SK manual (in Russian, for didactic reasons :P) Spectre might be right - the differential braking was applied by pinkie paddle + rudder (I actually set the pinkie trigger in my X-52 to brake to simulate this). I might be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 There's a fairly easily findable (on the internet, or on the forum) review written by an F-16/FA-18 pilot of his experience flying an Su-27 as part of some goodwill exchange. He describes it as having 'conventional' western style differential toe brakes, but said they felt soft & without feel. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer86 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 DCS FC3 Su-27. Rudder will works correctly at low and high speeds. That was on the 1.5.5 update 2 list which was released after 2.0.4 latest update months ago. I couldnt see it on newest 2.0.5 update list:music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlitzPuppet Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Doesn't look like we get the patch on 1.5 release today, maybe next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thBG_Blackwolf Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks for the tip! was breaking my head yesterday why the nose wheel did not turn! Me too! I saw the toe brakes but missed the nose wheel part, no wonder I couldn't turn it. I went back to the old WW2 ways, pull the lever on the stick and push the rudder. I'll have to try this again.
