Accelleration F-18 Brakes
WilliamCall:
I don't seem to have this problem. I use my keyboard to apply the brakes, and I stand on the brakes once I'm in a three point attitude. I find it hard to believe that it has anything to do with the joystick or throttle. I have the Cougar HOTAS joystick and throttle, both modified with the Hall's sensors. I have made several changes to the aircraft.cfg file. Listed below are the changes that I have made in the landing gear contacts section:
[contact_points]
//0 Class
//1 Longitudinal Position (feet)
//2 Lateral Position (feet)
//3 Vertical Position (feet)
//4 Impact Damage Threshold (Feet Per Minute)
//5 Brake Map (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right)
//6 Wheel Radius (feet)
//7 Steer Angle (degrees)
//8 Static Compression (feet) (0 if rigid)
//9 Max/Static Compression Ratio
//10 Damping Ratio (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped)
//11 Extension Time (seconds)
//12 Retraction Time (seconds)
//13 Sound Type
//14 Airspeed limit for retraction (KIAS)
//15 Airspeed that gear gets damage at (KIAS)
;Gear 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
point.0 =1.000, -18.000, 0.000, -6.600, 1600.000, 0.000, 0.916, 75.000, 0.100, 3.500, 0.950, 3.000, 3.000, 0, 250.000, 300.000
point.1 =1.000, -35.500, -5.100, -7.300, 1600.000, 1.000, 1.250, 0.000, 0.867, 1.700, 0.900, 3.500, 3.500, 2, 250.000, 300.000
point.2 =1.000, -35.500, 5.100, -7.300, 1600.000, 2.000, 1.250, 0.000, 0.867, 1.700, 0.900, 4.000, 4.000, 3, 250.000, 300.000
I've made modest changes to the gear geometry and stroking characteristics. I find it hard to believe that these changes are the cure.
Maybe someone who is having these problems will try my changes and report back. Remember to make a backup of your aircraft.cfg file first.

Today I bought the Trustmaster Couger joystick because my MS Sidewinder broken down. I made a flight plan KLAX to KSFO. Left from KLAX 25R and set GPS to Land 28R at KSFO, on the way at ZURET came down to 8000ft and then MOVER came down to 4500ft. The spped was 350knts and set the ILS Freq. 111.70 Rynway 28R at KSFO. Then at SAPID pressed Activate Vectors to Final in the GPS. Then slowly reduce the speed to 180knts and when I land it was 120knts. There was no side slips at all and F-18 went to the other end of the rumway without any slipping to a side. This was my fight landing using the F-18.
I think if we can reduce the speed to low then the landing is smooth.

I dont know how u did it right without slippin on ur first try. My first try i turned sideways and then spun out down 50 feet of the runway. I stopped with my nose in the air and my tail in the dirt. Had to lite full AB to get back level. I was flyin the approach about 130 and touched down at about 100 so speed wasnt the problem.

Havent tried ur fix yet but i plan to.
SUBS17:
Try not touching the brakes at all see what that does.
