Captain Orso Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 A couple of questions about taxiing. The Pocket Guide say, "Idle thrust is high and will result in excessive taxi speed unless the brakes are used or nozzles deflected". What? :huh: I've never seen this. In fact I'm only seeing the opposite. With an aircraft with no weapons, only fuel tanks full, I release the parking brake and push the throttle up to at least 40% before I start to roll. Before actually starting to roll, I see the nose to go down a little and suddenly the aircraft jumps free, as if the Harrier has hill-holder brakes, which it must overcome. It's a very small jump, but one that can easily be seen if you watch the nose of the aircraft. Once I'm rolling, if I throttle all the way back, my taxi speed will slow and eventually come to a standstill --even quicker if any turns are made. This is certainly not as described by "excessive taxi speed unless the brakes are used or nozzles deflected". Anti-skid control... is there actually any reason to not have it set to NWS HI, other than maybe during VTOL? When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

Harlikwin Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Works as advertised for me IIRC. On idle it starts to roll though it takes a few seconds. Then I have to use brakes eventually as it picks up speed. This is on land btw. Edited December 8, 2018 by Harlikwin New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Lixma 06 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Just tried it and my Harrier (full fuel - no weapons) doesn't move at idle - 285rpm for me. I have to throttle up to 370rpm before she starts biting.
Harlikwin Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Ill double check. I had just landed with no stores and presumably low fuel. I might have had more than idle throttle too. Usually though i find that the brakes suck. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

bkthunder Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 It doesn't move at all at idle, doesn't behave like explained in the natops. Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s
Nealius Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 I have a feeling ED's ground friction is modeled too high. Almost every module I have is like this.

I don't think I've seen anything move on idle... not sure of the tanks though :smilewink: but all aircraft I have including helicopters.

Captain Orso Posted December 10, 2018 Author Posted December 10, 2018 Thanks guy. Well, at least I know it's not just me. When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

AirWalK Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Try Water on/ off Water off: Plane stops with throttle all the way back Water on: it gain speed anyway and you have to brake… I use it to taxi all the time (HOTAS-Button bind for Water on/off) Move along.....nothing to see here
