182 RG Brakes

Featured Replies

Hey guys, I've done a search of the forum but only one topic and was nothing bu screenshots of a different plane.Anywho, I have my brakes key mapped to default '.' (The period key). When I touch the brakes the Carenado C Skylane 182 whips around as if I were hitting differential braking or something. It only happens on turns and I am always going 10 knots or less. This only happens with the Carenado C Skylane 182. I have tons of aircraft mostly heavy's such as PMDG's but have a dozen or so smaller detailed beauties like this but finally decided to stop getting whiplash and look into the cause ;-)Thanks in advance,

I also have this... so I never brake anymore in turns... unless I want to turn around VERY QUICKLY, than this 'option' is very handy. ;)

If you are braking while yawing, the rudder, you are using differential brakes, more on the side you yaw to.

Good point David, I never thought of that and my only experience is in the sims and only seen it in this AC. I guess the thing to do would be either invest in pedals (not an option since I don't have the room underneath) or find a way to set nose steering aside from the rudder...I love the idea that it's modeled so well, but think due to some people in my sistuation they should make an option for it since it is rather annoying and pretty hard to control without pedals. Or is there an option I missed?Edit: Actually is this really realistic? I mean it still seems way to sensitive to me and doubt an aircraft would whip around as easy as this one does, but again I have nothing to compare it to except a rather large "Virtual" (only) hangar.

Does anyone from Carenado frequent these forums? Or should I just email them? This is a big issue and I would appreciate some type of reply and a possible workaround other than having to buy pedals... If that's the case maybe they should state this prior to buying. I like the aircraft and it is my only Carenado currently but until I figure this out, will not be getting anymore.Thanks,

are you keeping your speed below 40 knots on taxi?I don't have pedals and works as expected for me.

Well below, normally only 5-10, up to a possible 20 on long straight taxi ways. The 5-10 knots will whip me around with the slighest touch of the brakes.

Dan, If you want to, you are able to 'adjust' your brakes in the aircraft.cfg...so maybe you would tone it down to your like'ing.. Here's how you would do it:In the 185RG folder locate your aircraft.cfg and open it with Notepad.find this section close to the bottom: Your numbers maybe different (I also adjust mine)[brakes]toe_brakes_scale=0.6parking_brake=1differential_braking_scale =1.1Obviously you want to lower the numbers to soften your brakes (toe brakes for your main brakes) (differential, would be to adjust left and right seperately)Try to lower them down .2 to .3 each time, remember to SAVE first, and then reload the aircraft fresh and check if its enough. Hope I explained it clearly.Enjoy your Cessna David-hope we can help,

Thanks David, I feel pretty stupid. I never noticed there was a brake section in aircraft.cfg and thought it was coded or something. Anywho, I went ahead and set the brake section to the same as the default Cessna and it works fine (No more whipping the plane around in a 180).The commented out parts at the bottom was what it was (The C182RG), and much higher digits than the default cessna as seen here:[brakes]parking_brake = 1toe_brakes_scale = 0.68//toe_brakes_scale=1.6//parking_brake=1.4//differential_braking_scale = 1.3

My bad, I misunderstood your last post. I thought that's how you signed your name. You got mine right in the first part of your post then you started calling me David :(Anywho, call me whatever you'd like, you helped me greatly :)PS. You wouldn't know how to add the Reality XP "Wx500" gauge to the cockpit of it would you? :(
