VZ_342 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I had a bit of difficulty steering the A-4, not because of the differential braking but because of the sudden hard turn to whatever side you're turning towards. It happens quickly, and once the hard turn starts you're on for the ride! There's gotta be some kind of adjustment to the braking system which allows sane turning....luckily Yappy's Training discord had someone who helped me out, and this method still works. I set this up a couple days ago. If you need help, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. DCS A-4 Steering Set-Up 1. Open Settings menu Tune Left brake and Right brake: Select “Slider”, “Invert”, and “User Curves.” Insert values from the left-->right 0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 (I use a "5" for the fifth slider because it rounds off the sharp corner, it is optional) Save and exit Settings Menu 2. Arm spoilers 3. Full Flaps 4. Bring up Controls Indicator (Rt Contl + Enter) 5. Note the little yellow circle at 12 o'clock, that indicates to which direction the Nose Wheel is pointed. All set, let's roll... 6. Stomp on the brake pedals, this resets them to zero (sometimes they're full on). 7. Throttle up to a walking speed. 8. Slowly push on one brake when needed, watching the little yellow circle...when it starts to move, start watching the nose of the plane. Slowly increase toe pressure, but release when the plane is turning at an appropriate rate. 9. Slowly apply opposite brake to cancel, but again keep an eye on the yellow circle...when it starts returning to center, watch the nose of the plane and stop the toe pressure when the plane is pointing where it's supposed to be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71st_Mastiff Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Ill give that ago. many a times I'm stuck in a right hand on the carrier; to only stop, restart the mission.

MAXsenna Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I believe the A-4E-C community module deserves it's own sub forum... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike88 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Well dont ask the devs to allow an option to return to the old setup of NWS we used to have. Although I understand some countries had this I asked years ago and was poo poo'd pretty quick asking. Even if it was a user checkbox option for the server on the menus. Oh well. Enjoy differential braking and restarting the missions. Some will say its very easy with practice. To me thats where you reach the game / sim and worth your time wall. Cheers.

VZ_342 Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) After setting the curves like in the image, I haven't got stuck during a taxi. Yes, it takes a little practice, more than pressing NWS (which is my preferred method), but these settings make it workable without frustration.
