Yes, my girl bought me Saitek rudder pedals :)

Hey, blame the British engineers who decided to use a single brake lever and do differential braking via the rudder pedals


To be serious though, you can probably set your brakes command (not the left/right brakes, the "common" brakes command) to a separate slider and get gradual control in the RAF birds. Still, the sim is correct in the way it models the systems, that's what the RAF had.

On the issue of gradual input, i agree that it could be a smoother transition when it's mapped to a single keypress, but you can still overcome it. Tap the button instead of keeping it down. I'm flying with a simple sidewinder precision pro stick so i use keyboard for a lot of commands, can't really say i have a problem controlling any aircraft on the ground.

No, brakes in RAF planes are "broken" in CloD. Even if you assign then to slider (axis) still as ON/OF, no proportional.

"The first time I had the opportunity to fly a British aircraft with this hand operated air brake system I was skeptical about it being very effective compared to hydraulic toe brakes. Within a very few minutes I was completely won over. It is far easier to manage, particularly on run up when one has to really stand on most American fighter rudder pedals. The source of high-pressure air is controlled by the brake lever on the spade control grip, or stick. The rudder pedals modulate the distribution of pressure to the left and right main wheel brakes. If the pedals are even, equal braking is applied to both sides; as one rudder pedal is applied then more brake pressure is fed to that side. Strength of application is delivered by the hand lever on the grip. The major benefit to all this is having one's feet and legs almost completely relaxed most of the time."

Roger that, i thought they also meant the system is modeled wrong (which, according to your quote is correct) and it was a mapping issue (i've seen it come up before from people with pedals/toe brakes).

So you mean that if i set the brakes on a slider they still go only 0%-100%, interesting.
