Problem with applying brakes after touchdown
Hi all

I have a problem where I land the plane, apply the brakes, and the nose tips over and I smash into the ground. I understand this is happening because the 'b' key is full-brakes on.

Now the trouble is I haven't got a seperate slider/axis that I can assign the brakes to, to allow me to apply them slowly and proportionately. So of course, 'b' being a key, is not proportional and can therefore either be on or off.

How do I get around this problem pls?


Thx in advance to all who help me

get pedals....or if you can fishtail with your rudder to lose speed faster on the ground.
What I do is tap b repeatedly to avoid tipping over my nose

It's what I do. Isn't there also an individual brake setting? Binding a hot key to say 50% or 80% braking power? I'd look into that as well.

The game (CloD) model two types of brakes system, the "differential" system and the "toe brakes" system.

1 - British and Italian planes use "differential" (1).

Press a lever in control column to brakes both wheels and move rudder bar if want brake only left or right wheel (In real G.50 the pilot press a button on top of control column!).

However the game model this system wrong, as ON/OF instead proportional.
So dont press and hold the key (B), type on this.
Even if mapped on axis (Full wheel brakes) the effect is ON/OF and not proportional.

With joystick software or external keymapper you can set to "B" press send paused B, B, B... - acting like a "ABS", so no tip over even if press and hold "B". :)

2 - German planes use "toe brakes".

If you have rudder pedal with separated brakes, map then for "Left wheel brakes" and "Right wheel brakes". In this case the brake are proportional.

This DONT work for British and Italian planes.

(1) Russian planes use this "differential" system too, then train for il-2 BoS (case they model this system correctly and not generic as I suspect...).

Thats called "Poor man's ABS" in racing sims. Works like a charm though.

With tail dragger aircraft, you have to make sure that you have the stick pulled all the way back before you apply the brakes. Just tap the brake button at first. It's never a good idea to hold the brakes on unless you are almost stopped anyway. You have that big, heavy engine sitting out front, so unless you have the tail wheel firmly planted on the ground and the speed well down, it will stand on itys nose if you're not careful.
