Wheel brakes not fully applying?


Recommended Posts

Can someone please post a picture of what the controls indicator with the left and right wheel brakes fully depressed should look like? I am having some sort of trouble where I cannot power up to 90 before take off because the wheel brakes aren't keeping me in place. On the controls indicator the gauge for them only goes up about a third of the way and I don't know if that's right or not. I have mfg crosswinds and in the calibration software everything seems good and in the DCS axis bindings menu the little white bar at the bottom of the bound axis seems to travel across that range properly. IDK what's happening. Thanks for any help.

If ED modeled them correctly the brakes automatically release when the throttle is advanced beyond 85-90%(I can't remember the actual parameters though). So, in short, it's normal.

I mean the wheel/toe brakes. Like in the taxi/takeoff training mission when on the runway and you're instructed to hold the brakes and advance the throttle to 90%. The plane wouldn't stay still at that RPM even with the toe brakes fully depressed.

I have to use the W key to hold the brakes during run up as the toe brakes aren't that effective.

In one of the two tutorials at the moment it asks you to apply the brakes and to advance the throttle to 90% and check for function on the corresponding panels. I cannot get the brakes to hold for it at that level of power as requested by the tutorial so i just pressed space-bar to continue.

In my testing I think its the left brake. I've had another verify that the amount of braking appears much better on the right over the left. If you try rolling and jam on left break vs right we get different behavior. I also think when I got to 80%+ power it starts rotating right (because left break isn't holding).

I think the braking power altogether is too weak. Even during the landing roll after aerobraking down to 100 knots, it takes way too much pavement to slow down. Also I think the anti skid isn’t very well simulated, too. It may be a contributing factor.

 

Do a high speed taxi down runway and apply moderate to max brake pressure. You see the wheels lock then release repeatedly. Granted once below a set speed usually these systems don’t work and if you do apply the same braking pressure, the wheels will lock up and you’ll skid, but that’s at like below 20 knots wheel speed typically. I’ve never seen or heard of an anti skid system respond that slow. It’s whole purpose is to prevent skidding. Don’t seem to do that well at all.

Since I started this thread I wanted to update and like others have said, I'm 99% sure my problem here was related to the left wheel brake acting funny/not working, which Nineline has said they have reproduced and it's a known issue now.

I am definitely having this same issue. Only my right toe brake seems to actually apply braking. My left toe brake does not. Is there a source where Nineline acknowledges that this is an issue?

Weak Left Brake here as well. Seems intermittent though. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

You are correct, it does not happen all the time.

The fix for this is to set your axis as "slider" in the axis tune page, by default it isn't a slider. The wheel brake then functions correctly.

Thanks, but I did that and it still happens. As mentioned before it does not happen all the time. Still trying to figure out when & why.

So you already had it as slider, or you switched to slider? If you switched to the slider, did you close the game out and relaunch?

I changed from Axis to Slider, relaunched DCS and I still have a random weak / nonexistent left brake.

This issue is so weird. When I taxi I'm testing the left and right brake one after the other. Sometimes the left brake works. Is a track file really necessary for this to be reported?
