I had the wheel brakes assigned to left - right pedals (axis) on my rudder pedals. I had the axis assignments checked as "Reversed". That's not necessary in the DC-6. When I unchecked the Reverse assignments, the toe brakes returned to their normal state which is "off" if the pedal is not depressed. That cleared my "dust" at taxi and take off. If you're seeing dust from the wheels, check all axis assignments in the Joystick Settings tab and remove any "toe brake" assignments if you're not using the toe brakes. Sounds to me that you've got conflicting assignments, either axis and/or buttons.

Hi, Really enjoying the DC-6 but the dust (or smoke?) animation from the wheels is almost comical. When I first saw an external camera of the plane taxiing or on a takeoff roll I thought the brakes were on fire. The effect is even there on hard surfaces and just as strong as what is seen if the plane is on gravel or dirt. I think all graphics on the plane are excellent otherwise. It's a shame that this "dust" effect IMO detracts from an otherwise great graphical presentation. Please PMDG, eliminate or at least greatly tone down the "dust". Ideally, the effect would be volume - speed sensitive and be minimal on hard surfaces, if shown at all. Thanks

I tried that plugin and it works as advertised. However, I fly multiple aircraft, many of which are single or dual engine, and it is a pain to remap the throttle each time you switch aircraft. Mapping to a single throttle axis is the simplest approach.

Hi Paul, I fly with the Warthog and have my right throttle lever mapped as "Throttle" in the x-plane axis mapping. Works fine and all in game throttles work fine in sync with the one Warthog throttle lever. Make sure that no other controls are mapped as throttles/
