GeoS72 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I'm not sure if this is a bug or not: Differential braking is challenging in the Corsair. It will suddenly turn right after applying left brake and turn left when applying right brake after it makes the turn in the proper direction. Additionally, when attempting to take off from ground, the brakes feel like they are engaging. All keybinds are properly set. I do find it odd there is no brake axis visually represented in the ControlsIndicator overlay. 1
Cheese16 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Look at your pedals while breaking. It sounds like maybe they're bound to the opposite breaks? Are you using key binds or axis? The breaks seem to work as expected on my end. I'm using the axis, maybe the keybinds are flip flopped? They wouldn't be the only ones 1
GeoS72 Posted June 20 Author Posted June 20 Cheese, Thanks for commenting. However, the axes are properly bound. When I step on the left brake, the aircraft will first turn to the left. After releasing the brake, it will then swing right. And vise versa. It's like there is a phantom applying brakes. It is also very difficult to "spin in place" when applying brake to one side; it is the opposite effect when you jump into the P-47 or P-51. You can spin around to your heart's content in a P-47 or P-51.
GeoS72 Posted June 20 Author Posted June 20 Case in point: After cold starting the Corsair, I pulled forward and began to turn left on the taxiway. I couldn't make a sharp enough turn despite the tail wheel being unlocked (by default) and fully pressing on the left brake pedal. It barely turned left. This should be addressed because it makes turning on deck (carrier) or on land a bear to accomplish. Warbird Practice_005-20250620-142341.trk 1
_Hoss Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Yep, I had to de-tune my breaks, they were too sensitive. They work as they should for me with TPRs. 2 1 Sempre Fortis

GeoS72 Posted June 27 Author Posted June 27 FWIW, there is no difference when using the rudder AND wheel brake at the same time. An adjustment to the wheel brake/tail wheel caster effect is requested. 1
JesseJames38 Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Odd as it works for me. Now I am wondering what I may be doing differently.
GTFreeFlyer Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Works fine for me. I suspect you are experiencing PIO. If that’s the case, just need to anticipate the motion ahead of time. Be proactive, not reactive, in your braking.

felixx75 Posted June 28 Posted June 28 The tail wheel behaves as if it is spring-loaded and does not rotate freely... It always wants to return to the centre position.
Nealius Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Noticed this as well. When making hard turns with the wheel unlocked, as soon as I release the brakes the aircraft stops turning as if the tail wheel snapped to center. No inertia whatsoever. In the other warbirds doing this would result in a 360. It's also nearly impossible to taxi with any precision, as the slightest tap of a single brake will bring her to a stop when you want to turn, and doing an in-place turn requires revving the engine to 2500rpm to unstick the tail wheel (yes it's unlocked). 4

Sarge55 Posted Sunday at 04:22 PM Posted Sunday at 04:22 PM I haven’t had any issues with my brakes. Are you setting them as a slider in axis settings with a DZ of 2? I agree with the tail wheel being bit snappy back to centre.

Chipwich Posted Sunday at 07:42 PM Posted Sunday at 07:42 PM With its wide main undercarriage, the F4U is one of the easiest DCS WWII aircraft to taxi, IMHO. Certainly much easier than the Spitfire or Bf109. Check to see if your tailwheel is locked. Also, check to see if your boot toe moves forward in sync with your pedal press. If memory serves, I had to invert them. R7 5800X3D / 64GB / MOZA AB9 Base / TIANHANG F-16 Grip / VPC T-50CM3 Throttle / Ace Flight Pedals / RTX 4080 Super / Meta Quest 3
Mike Busutil Posted Monday at 03:39 PM Posted Monday at 03:39 PM I have noted this behavior with a cross wind and suspect it's just weathervaning in to the wind. (Appears to be too sensitive to cross winds) With winds set to zero I am not seeing this unless the ground is uneven.

DrDetroit Posted Monday at 03:58 PM Posted Monday at 03:58 PM I notice my toe brakes do not work properly or at all, not until I hit esc, go to keybinds and immediately exit keybinds back into the sim. Then they work as expected. Also had issues with tail wheel during taxi until I set rudder pedals to slider. Now they work as expected as well.
