its a bug for sure and a serious mistake to the real procedures for aircrafts from the IIWW, till now only jets has this (where we have parking brake mostly!) … LOL. 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.

This is from the actual manual, the manual is dated 1950, but I feel its still fine.

I think he means the fact none of the other ww2 aircraft have chocks or the ability to hold down the aircraft is an issue. Not that the mossie has them.

I will add that i saw couple posts requesting for wheel chocks and ability to tight down the tail to allow full engine run up for WW2 planes.

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.

Here is what he said originally... 

 

He isn't wrong 🤷‍♂️ but personally I don't see it as an issue.

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.

So you don't have to stay on the brakes for 10 minutes to wait for the warmup

I dont think thats a great reason, most times warming up a fighter takes very little pressure for the amount you need to warm the engine.

That’s the easiest question I’ve seen on these forums…

 

 

“Chocks Away…!”

 

(and probably why folks ask for appropriate pilot and ground crew voiceovers 😉 - ie there’s a deep cultural embed)

Now that is something I would like to see, I am hoping that we will be getting this with the WWII navigation system.

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.

Maybe when thats better modeled we could revisit, but seems pretty low priority right now.

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.

 

The only warbirds we have without parking brakes are the Fw 190 series and 109. Excluding FC3, most of the modern aircraft have parking brakes, and chocks, despite not rolling under idle power like they would in real life.

 all ww2 aircraft had chocks

 The pilots who flew Sunderland's,Walrus's,Catalinas and other flying boats might disagree there mate....he,he,he  😉

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
