4.13 development update discussion and feedback

[Tolwyn]

Well, if you have it as a button, it's 100% on or 100% off.
You COULD assign it to an axis...

In the upcoming (uh... who knows when) patch, there will be differential braking and stuff.

Some planes already have differential braking, it's just not seen as a message on the HUD. It's activated by turning the rudder and braking at the same time. You can see it in the Mosquito and the jets.

I haven't looked, but I think some brake gauges back that up (differential braking). By the way, the B24 did not have differential brakes; they had a dual brake system that let each pilot contribute to the brake strength. Both left brake pedals operated one system that fed both mains, and both right brake pedals operated a second system that fed both mains. I think the idea was that, if all systems were functioning, both pilots pressing both brake pedals could apply 4 times the pedal pressure. I don't know if that translated into 4 times the total pressure at the main wheels. In R/L, turning was done by throttles and prop wash against the rudders. The gauges in our model respond the way they should, but I think our programmers made it more of a differential system for those not having the benefit of multi-axis quadrants. I find it hard to turn just the same. But I'm sure there will be experts soon after we release--which I don't control
