It's a pain. I fly with an Ace Edge and have to brake by using my guns, but in the B-17 I'm at the mercy of my momentum. Manston has the only strip long enough to land a bomber with no brakes on. Once stopped, the B-17 taxis better than most other planes because you can get it to pivot. Ill be over joyed when the patch hits and I finally get to experience landing with brakes.

The guy in the clip below was also flying with a stick (in the P51). But he was trying to switch from his stick to a regular controller so he could land with brakes. If you listen to what he saying right before he spins out, he knocked over his video camera when trying to make the switch. I've been spontaneously laughing about that one all day and feel I must share.

You don't need brakes for the P51 using a stick StarFOZ..........that vid is great Draux...I crashed just before that happened so missed it.

Hmm good call.

The P47 taxi's well once you get her down. Most others though are extremely sluggish and not to responsive

I might have to switch to the pad when flying "free flights"

In one now (sort of) and the FW190 is ridiculous

i should of flown something more fun. Trying to form up on anyones wing just isnt happening either.

OMG that was priceless. Not owning the game yet I'm hanging out to get it and get on line. That was a million dollar stall and the voice of mayday going downing down............mahahahahahha.

Keep the vids rolling and I hope to see you in the sky soon.

There's a lot to be had from this title other than just combat (patch or no patch!) thats for sure.....if that clip helps to promote the 'plusses' of this game then it's priceless. Young JE (who's voice you can hear) is a natural SIM flyer and climbing up the rankings pretty rapidly considering he has only had this title a few weeks and always flys in cockpit view........

JE was cool. He was just a little clumsy when juggling a flight stick, regular controller and a video camera. I'd give anything to see the crash from his POV. Hopefully the camera was on when it happened.
