Accelleration F-18 Brakes

<< < (2/8) > >>

virtuali:
Are you using real rudder brakes, or simply hit the brake key/button ? I guess that might be a big difference, because with rudder brakes you can apply the desired amount of braking force, but with keyboard or joystick button, it's either 0% or 100% braking, and that might impact stability.

edbob:
I only have trouble with the brakes when I'm still moving pretty fast.  Following the lead of real Hornet pilots, after I touch down I keep my nosewheel off the ground as long as possible and use aerodynamic braking.  Be careful you don't scrape your tail while doing this.  Once the nose falls, I use the brakes.  Usually don't have a problem.

I am using the full on/full off braking, not the rudder brakes.

chupaflier:
The problem is definitely there! Things I do to avoid:
-as soon as back wheel touch down I engage the speed brake and keep nose up to bleed airspeed
-as soon as front wheel touches down I start tapping brakes first twill speed is around 50, then press it down

Scoutdriver:
I had the same issue for the longest time until I finally solved it. I went into my joystick settings in Windows and increased my null zone. It wasn't until I pulled up the null zone tab in the settings that I realized my rudder control was way off to one direction. If your pedals/yaw aren't centered when you hit the brakes, expect to do some sliding.

fael097:
its not a problem with joystick settings or anything, the f-18 doesnt work like the other aircrafts, thats the problem, if you touch the ground and you're not aligned, like one of your wings is higher than the other, and that makes one side of your landing gear touch the ground first, you'll slide. other aircrafts will correct their align as soon as they're on the ground, but not the f-18, and this needs a fix.
