Chocks for aircraft

In Order to not fill up the Mosquito thread, here's a separate one.

 

But it's not about the amount of pressure required.

 

It's about having to leave your feet on the pedals for minutes. After all, all they do for us in DCS is making our life easier...

 

Chocks have been requested over and over again actually.

 

And if you insist, here are pictures of fighters with chocks.

"W" on a switch relieves your feet until chocks are available

As a workaround - 1. apply and hold full brakes 2. While holding brakes go into escape menu 3. Now go into controls menu 4. Release brakes 5. Exit menus and brakes will remain full on until you manually move the pedals.

But yeah +1 chocks please!

I did a quick google for historical accuracy, and turns out that both sides definitely had access to chunks of wood to keep wheels from moving by WW2.

Yess, chocks would be so nice to have!

Oh, the visceral fun of holding the W key literally for several minutes because there's no time compression in multiplayer...

@NineLineHave you proposed this to the team yet?

[grafspee]

Would be nice, since some planes do not have dedicated hand brakes like spitfire, k-4 and both fw190.

Possible work around solution.

Use Voiceattack software to depress and hold the full wheel brakes key on a "Chocks In" command, and release on a "Chocks Out" command. Just an idea...

Or ED could just fix it.

Still no chocks for other warbirds. Can somebody chop some wood so we can place them infront the wheels @NineLine
