I hope it will be solved for Mossie from beginning and looks like it will be here! However Mossie has working parking brake also. Good to know! Now I'm hoping they gradually revisit other modules.

ED Team NineLine Posted September 1, 2021 ED Team Share Posted September 1, 2021 I've never had an issue with other WWII aircraft in DCS not having enough braking power to do what I needed it to do.

I don't think it is about the braking power, YoYo wants all the WWII aircraft to have a chock system like the Mossie apparently does.

ED Team NineLine Posted September 1, 2021 ED Team Share Posted September 1, 2021 For what purpose do we need chokes for the fighters? I need to understand the reason if I am to ask the team about it. The WWII guys are very busy so I need to understand if there is an important reason to have them. Its not something I hear many people complain about.

WolfhoundCH Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Just chiming in on the topic to show ED that it's not a new or unusual request, yes every WW2 aircraft should get chocks! Sidenote: British accent voicelines please! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISexuallyIdentifyAsAnAmram Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The chocks would be a great addition to ANY aircraft in dcs, no matter what era... But ESPECIALLY for the warbirds it's an important feature for a runup/warmup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people have asked for it. And its not about the pressure it takes. Its about having to leave your feet on the pedals or having to keep pressing a button while in reality, the ground crew could have simply thrown chocks under the wheels while the pilot warms the engine. Also, the lack of difference in ressistance between grass and tarmac for warbirds also counts towards the need of chocks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 We don't need chocks for any of the aircraft we have in DCS. But we have them for all the modern aircraft. At this point there's no reason not to add chocks to the warbirds. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogster Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Surely the point is that most of the aircraft don’t have parking brakes. If you cold start you have to hold the brakes while you warm the engine otherwise you’ll wander all over the airfield. Anyway it seems they are being added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excluding FC3, most of the modern aircraft have parking brakes, and chocks, despite not rolling under idle power like they would in real life.

Sydy Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Guys, Even modern fighters use chocks anyway… We may mention several reasons for the WWII planes to use it, e.g.: - Some didn’t have parking brakes; - Holding on the brakes during engine warm-up was tiresome; - On the britsh planes, to maintain the brakes you had to “squeeze the banana”, so you have one hand busy all the time; - Eventual brake failure. Even today, If I have a ground crew attending me, I still prefer to leave the chocks on. So, why questioning the fundamentals? All the best, Sydy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
