Which part of left or right bothers you? The bit about effort?

In real life, the bicycle brake looking hand grip on the joystick determined the amount of air (and hence effort) being fed to the braking system; the rudder pedals (pushing left or right) distributed that effort. If you don't squeeze the brake lever, there's no air, and thus no effort. If you don't push a rudder pedal then the effort is not distributed (both brakes on), if you push right, the air/effort goes to the right brake.

That's what they're trying to model. And they know that some people do without advanced flight controls, so they're trying to model it with simple key presses.


This is quite different from Axis brakes, which, when configured correctly in Clod, work pretty much as expected (as far as I can see).

By that I mean that assigning left and right brakes axis to the pedal (not rudder) axis in the controls menu seems to work as expected on Axis craft, but has no effect on Allied craft.

And that's because the brakes work in different ways.
