SuwitoBurido Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Hello! After a couple of flights on a Mig I realised, that after take off my compressed air in the brake system is disappearing. Is there an any possibility to keep the preasure for taxi after landing?

Volator Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Yes, set the gear handle to neutral after take-off, otherwise your compressed air will be gone pretty soon. 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven

Oh god. Is that so? Thanks. Also, do you know why is my drag chute wont come out after cold start procedure and take off? Maybe I miss something important?

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) As mentioned above, the chute release is actuated via compressed air. Also, be sure to use full rudder deflection when turning during taxi regardless of how tight the turns is. Go full rudder in which ever direction you want and govern the tightness with the brake-handle. This saves compressed air as it's fully closing the differential valve where that air pressure goes in the brakeline. Unsure if it's modeled in DCS, though.

rossmum Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I would map brakes to a paddle/lever if you have one, don't use a toebrake axis - firstly because that's how the real aircraft is set up, but also I've had friends run into a situation where they've accidentally opened the brake valve just enough to drain it over the course of a flight. With brakes mapped to the paddle, you should really never even come close to running into a low air situation unless you forget to return the gear lever to neutral. If you do realise your air pressure is gone, the emergency system is independent. Pull the handle on the instrument panel to actuate the emergency brakes but be aware, you still won't have a chute.
