Unified brake Axis for either activating left or right brake

[Moafuleum]

Hi

 

I'm not sure, whether this is an ED thing or separate for every single module, so I put this here. My request is about break axis. Currently, we have two axis for both left and right brakes and one axis to activate both brakes for those who don't have pedals.

 

However I wish for a solution that makes it possible to activate either the left brake or the right brake just by using one and the same controller axis. Depending on the axis deflection, either the right or left brake is activated.

 

This could be useful for people who have a spring centered axis (like a twist grip) or like an axis on the thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas throttle (which I have and it would perfectly fit for this). Please see the attached picture (taken from Amazon.de).

 

To clarify further what I mean, I made a little graph to show, how such an axis could look like. The controller axis is centered by e.g. a spring in the middle and can be deflected positively or negatively, activating either the right or left brake.

 

The advantage is a better control of the brake pressure when taxiing e.g. in the P-51.

 

What do you think about this?

Thanks

Could be useful on the Spitfire too with it’s single brake lever. Unless that’s already done.

That's true, however the Spitfire only has one lever at the control stick. I managed to configure the axis with deadzones such that it has only an effect for deflection > 50%.
