[RESOLVED] Feels Like I am Pulling a Wagon of Bricks

[flameoutme]

Just what the title says. Even when I go full after burner. When I use the instant action takeoff missions for both carocus and nevada - same thing. I almost run out of runway.

 

Parking brakes are off.

 

As soon as I take off, acceleration feels normal.

 

As a double check I went to my F-14 and F-86 modules, - taxing and takeoff are normal.

 

Then I shut down dcs and restarted - same same.

 

I had noticed this same thing yesterday.

 

For me, it is reproducable every time.

 

I think I am in OpenBeta - that's what Steam says.

Do you have rudder pedals ?

Check Controls to see if those axes have to be inverted.

No, except for teh paddle on my TWCS throttle.

 

But I just found out what was causing it.

 

I had selected in preferences "Synchronize Cockpit Controls with HOTAS Controls at Mission Start" yesterday. I remembered that today, and when I unchecked it, it worked perfectly. Then I reengaged it and had the issue. Did this several times. Seems to work fine in the air but when its starting on teh ground, be it taxi or take off, it doesn't work... and like I said, it feels like I am pulling a ton of bricks. I'm talking afterburner to just get the M2000 to begin move.

 

So I won't be using it any longer!

 

Note: as I mentioned above, I did not experience any adverse behavior in the F-14 or F-86. So this is definitely tied to the M2000 somehow.

Do you have a switch binded to the parking break ?

Thanks... but per the previous post I found the culprit.

Wow! incident in simulation corresponding to actual tragedy in real world.

An episode of Seconds From Disaster or Why Planes Crash or Crash Investigation, described the T/O crash of Russian Yak-40 jet , carrying a professional hockey team, in Russia. The pilot was standing on wheel brakes via rudders, and did not realize it. Nor had co-pilot. The aircraft ran out of runway and crashed .

 

I use control overlay (R-CNTRL/ENTER) to see what the controls are doing.

How can he not know he's standing on the brakes? I doubt it was his first time on type, he didn't know it had toe brakes??? Too much vodka before his flight, more likely @@

This happened to me IRL, as a passenger in a C172, flying out of a grass field.

The pilot (ex Spitfire), should have had his heels on the floor, but had them on the pedals, which caused his feet to bounce on the brakes.

By half runway length we kept slowing down and I could see the end was nigh.

I shouted, get you feet off the brakes and he took them completely off the pedals and we started to snake.

He yanked the stick back and we lept into the air and back down again on the left wheel, heading for the edge of the runway, bounced back up again and back down onto the right wheel, which was accompanied by a loud scream from the back seat.

Up we went again and hung on the prop over the boundary fence.

Sorry about that, he said.

 

 

OMG, what's the landing going to be like!
