reported Brake Axis

[yoshama]

Will the SU25s get axis's for brakes any time soon? it's weird not being able to use my rudder pedals for the brakes on only this aircraft. is there a reason the real aircraft doesn't use an axis type control?

The real one does have analog lever on the stick for wheel brakes but not on the pedals.

I thought there was a stick lever for brakes since the Russians liked that so much.

People keep repeating this answer with no reference.

[yoshama]

Do you have a reference? I'm honestly curious.

I deleted my first message because I thought we were talking about the MiG-29. The Su-25 uses the pedals for braking. There is no brake on the stick. The lack of brake pedals in the control menu is an "unimplemented feature".

[draconus]

I don't have real manual, do you? I happen to remember these answers:

Wish I did have a manual! My statement above is based on a long distant memory of conversations from the LOMAC 1.x days. So I could be wrong. But I have also yet to see a photo or video showing a hand brake on any Su-25 stick. Not conclusive, though, so I reserve the right to be wrong.

Unfortunately I cannot find such lever either.

 

yoshama: If you have a software for the pedals you can probably program it to translate 50% pedal axis move into key pressed action.

So what about the Mig29 ? The Mig21 ?

Those two have also brakes on the stick and you can still bind your pedal axis.

By all means that should be an option here too.

It seems there are no plans to bring this plane to the same level of functionality with the rest of FC3 planes. 
 

The Mig-29 and the Su-27 both have proportional braking and nose wheel steering on/off options enabled, I don’t know why the Su-25 pulled the short stick but it is such a shame really.

[Jascha]

Just a friendly bump.

As I checked, Su-25 is the only FC3 aircraft without the possibility to bind axis as wheel brake input. What a shame.

I don't care about visual representation in cockpit. Just add the option to bind it and use it.

Even at FC3 level you would expect to at least have an analogue wheel brake axis.

Whether the Su-25 has toe brakes, or a brake lever, surely it is an "axis" in the real plane, not an on/off button...

[Maxthrust]

Another year goes by.. they don’t care

[virgo47]

I've been wandering the same thing for well over a year... for Su-25 and Su-25T. There seems to be no lever on a stick, is it using pedals (two axes)? But even one axis would be much better than now, I constantly need to remind myself "this plane has no brake axis!" and use a different button than for all other FC3 planes.
