Hehe I have a joystick with a pinky switch. Its a switch at the bottom of my stick where my pinky finger rests. You can use any button which feels natural to you or use a keyboard button.

You can also use a toebrake axis but I tried that and that does not work intuitively. Better to use toebrakes on your rudder for the german planes only.

Yes, my toe brakes are working fine on german aircraft but as mentioned earlier english airplanes are hard to taxiing (for me). I pulled down my stickto get a better grip and using rudder and pushing the brake key has not that effect i wanted.

You do need to give heavy throttle though. I have no problem turning while standing still or going about 15 km/hour when pressing the wheelbrake button, giving plenty of throttle and kicking in the rudder (not the toe-brakes).

You are referring to normal taxi though are you not? as in.. getting from hangar to nice line up on the runway?

If you are trying to take off read my earlier bit. taking off in british planes is tricky indeed and no braking should be used. You can brake with german planes during takeoff because they are differential. British planes is Brake on Brake off. no in between.. thus one second you are rotating and the next your plane is nose deep in.. well.. deep :p

ps be sure that, when you hold your pinky button which is bound to wheel brake, in the right of the screen the words :"wheelbrake on" appear

Hi kingpinda,

Quote: You are referring to normal taxi though are you not?
YES


In solo flight (training Hurricane) taxiing is working fine. There are no problems. Even after landing the Hurricane, i can roll into one of these hangars.

The taxiing problem occurs when i landed the aircraft and trying to roll into the hangar. (There is a mission when you starting from the airfield with a Blenhem but you can choose different aircrafft too.)

Here i am trying to learn how aircraft reacting when pushing throttle, using to brakes etc.

Surley i will try your suggestion.

Thanx mate

I have noticed that the hurri wheels are sunk into the ground slightly and the tail wheel is sunk up to its axle. Wonder if this is adding too much drag and reducing the response whilst taxying. Also I feel that the aircraft takes a wee bit too long to speed up whilst taking off.
