fixed F-16C wheel brakes braking mostly left or right (normal behavior or bug?)

Per design. Fuel is not unbalanced here. Forward tank has more capacity than the rear, that is all.

Ok, thank you. Interesting information. But then I don't understand BIGNEWIE's explanation. I thought he talks about an unbalanced load of the wing tanks. A different load (by design) of the fwd and the aft tank shouldn't cause an unbalanced behavior of the wheel brakes.

you do have to be a little easier on the brakes and gradually brake.

Hi BIGNEWY,

I just tested it with a very gently and slightly using of the toe brakes (I hope you know, that the hard using of the wheel brakes in the track was only to demonstrate the issue), but even then the F-16 breaks out left or right. And it also dramatically breaks out when the jet has almost stopped and you hit the brakes (can you also see in my first track) no matter how gently you do it. That cannot be normal. As Machalot, Hammer1-1 and Dee-Jay wrote, if the Anti Skid isn't implemented yet, then of course the plane breaks out if one wheel blocks during braking. It has nothing to do with an unbalanced fuel load (especially not if this unbalacing is between the forward and the afterward tank because of their different sizes).

I know the F-16 is an Early Access plane and a lot of systems are WIP or just will be implemented in the near future. But the Anti Skid is a basic and important system to handle the Viper on the ground. I think, the way how to create a module should be 1. roll, 2. fly, 3. navigate, 4. fight.

 

Best regards,
Rene

Hi, 

 

If you are expecting to brake in a perfectly straight line it wont work like that. Weight differences and the anti-skid will have subtle effects on braking.

 

We do have an issue related to stores weight having to much of an effect on take off, affecting friction on the wheels, this is why I mention fuel weight, it maybe related.

 

thanks

Ok, that means there is a problem with weight balance at the moment that also can affect the rolling/braking on the ground, but ED is working on it. That sounds good for me. I will be patienced and waiting for a fix in the near future. Thank you very much for the information.

I have marked this as reported and have added the thread to my other report.

 

thanks
