Braking smooth

[Flightsimmer84]

Hello everybody,

I have put the brakes on a button of my joystick. Unfortunately, the braking is very hard. The aircraft is doing to its "knees".

 

How can I make braking smooth? Do I have this little change to the parameters?

Use toe brakes.

Yes but if pressed momentarily, not held down with repeat enabled, you could lessen the fierceness somewhat. Not easy though.

Due to physical limitations I must use a button on the joystick.. Thinking this would be a perfect little LUA project to delve into. A log or linear increase in braking over time, ~2.5 seconds. This would reduce the harshness & give the ability use the momentary action as Pete mentioned above a little more effectively. A much better option than adjusting the .air file (only way to adjust) for each airplane. 

 

The brain is pondering... Will give it a go.

Gave it a go with excellent results. It helps out quite a bit when using a button, toggling on/off to get a mixed brake strength. The code is in the User Contributions section.

 

Pete - If you see any glaring problems with this -or- have some ideas to make it better I would be grateful.. A lua beginner.

Very good for a "Lua beginner" :-), but I think you should look at using events instead. I've posted some ideas in the thread in User Contributions. Ask questions if you need to.

Thanks Pete!

 

 My 1st 3 versions were done inside a single file. I tried just about everything you mentioned ( event.) and just couldn't get it to work reliably. Forgot about event.param. Going to try again. Trying to make it easy on the user side to setup. 

 

Thanks! will advise.

BINGO! Thanks for heading me in the right direction! Works great plus it was much easier to integrate more functions...The code is in the User Contributions section at the top replacing the old stuff.

 

Have a great day!
