razo+r Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Left and right wheel brake. Should be something like LCtrl+W and LAlt+W. Check the controls to make sure. BTW, reading the manual is also helpfull. It has many usefull things in it. Edited January 17, 2022 by razo+r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Softailer Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Thanks Razo+r for the quick response. Is that the letter L and the CTRL + W or just the CTRL +W & The letter L Alt +W? And where can I download the manual from? Edited January 17, 2022 by Softailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigg Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Also put a curve of 20 on the toe brakes axis as it makes taxiing a lot nicer/easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to you put the 20 degrees curve on the toe brake axis Brigg? 1) it only works with axis (if you assigned a button there is no way to 'tune' its axis.) 2) in controls, right-click on the assigned axis and select "tune axis". In the pop window you'll see a 'curvature' slide that you can set... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick33 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 @SoftailerYou need an analog axis to tune as described above. You don't have that with a keyboard and mouse for controls. Things get a lot more controllable with a joystick and rudder controls, I can't really imagine trying to do with a keyboard so hats off to you if you can!

Art-J Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 ^ Something still doesn't seem right on his screenshot, however. Even when I'm not playing and I've my analog controllers plugged off, all axis commands are still displayed in that window - I just don't have my controllers visible on the right, but axis commands are listed. So they should on his PC I suppose (?). @Softailer - the axis commands table should look more or less like shown below. If it doesn't, try running a game repair, or reinstall the P-47 module. While we're at it, you selected "P-47D Easy" controls tab. Keep in mind assignments made here will only work if you play using "game flight mode" (selectable in gameplay options). I don't recomend that one, because it's quite buggy and makes some important systems inop (for example, trims are animated, but don't actually work in it). If you decide to go for full simulation mode instead, you will have to assign commands in "P-47D Real" tab. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
