L-39 ZA differential brake problem

[FlyingFighter511]

Hello everyone !

I have a problem with my L-39 ZA. Let me explain.

I'm use to fly the L-39C without any problem, I know the plane and I know how ot use it properly. Here comme my issue.

When playing the Kursant campaign, after first lessons, you have to change your L-39C for a L-39ZA in order to use weapons. I mapped my key like I did on my L-39C, mapped my logitech Switch panel same way, and all my axis and button same way than l-39C. When it's time to roll, it seems that the differential braking is not working : I apply rudder input and use my brake lever, as I do with the L-39C, the Mig-15, the Mig-21 and the Su-27 but the plane won't turn.

As I monitor the pressure gauge, both left and right circuit are pressurised up equal and not differentially. Same when I use the control position window.

 

So my question is, is there a difference in the mapping of differential braking with the L-39C that I couldn't find ?

Or is there a way for me to repair that non working plane variant ?

 

Waiting for your help ! :)

You might have one of the cockpit levers bound instead of the stick brake lever? Does the lever on the stick animate with your brake key input? Do the rudder pedals move according to their input? (either animation or the rctl-enter display)?

[FlyingFighter511]

No no, the brake lever (in game) is animated when I'm using the brake lever (button) of my warthog stick and my rudder are animated too when I apply it same in the rctrl-enter display, rudder cursor move and brake gauge goes up :/

It's like the game doesn't recognize that I'm braking AND using rudder and don't make me turn. seems that it doesn"t do the correlation

Does it happen in user made missions as well? I've just created a quick one and the system works as intended.

[FlyingFighter511]

Yes it happens on all conditions, MP server, campaign, user created missions...

What I would do in such case then is usual stuff - disable mods and run a DCS repair and cleanup, if they dont help, temporarily remove "L-39ZA" folder from Config/Input location, reassign controls.

 

The other idea - do you use any profiler software for these Thrustmaster and Logitech devices of yours? I don't and my -ZA seems to be working OK with all control binding done directly in the game, but If you do, maybe they're causing some issues?

We have been flying the l39 since a while last night.
I had exactly the same problem as OP mentioned, almost zero steering authority on ground, even though I pull the brake lever + full rudder.

Previous to our flight I remapped all my controls, so I cleared all possible axis' which could interfere with my controls.

You guys may be locking the wheels up. You don't really do full brake and full rudder. You just need to squeeze the brakes a bit, then you can rudder into your turn. Also, it's much easier if you're moving slightly first.

 

Unless controls are wonky or something is corrupted, this sort of stuff is a ''user error'' usually

Okay I'll try again with brakes on an axis, as it's on the warthog joystick brake button currently

Thanks for the Tipp!

I know that it won't help and it's annoying, but ... by me it works just fine.... 
You set something wrong pal.

I have no problem using the diff braking with other aircraft such the yak 52, mig 15 or even L-39c. I'm sure that there is nothing wrong in the way I do it with the ZA and it is set exactly as the l-39c. I don't use any profiler like target or Logitech one. 

Right now I don't have access to dcs but I'll try a repair of dcs as soon as I can go back on it and I'll post update. 

Thanks for the help guys!

If it is working fine for others and also for yourself in the L39C then there must be a conflict in your L39ZA input settings surely?

That is the only reason i can imagine why one would work fine and not the other.

Hello everyone, finally made it home. I tried reinstalling the module without solving the issue and then I decided to erase all mappings and reattribute everything and it solved my problem! Thx for your help!
