F/A-18 Brakes part 2
fael097:
i made this video to prove that the brakes have to be fixed. im also sending it to microsoft, just posted here to see what other people have to say about it, so if you disagree and don't think they're bugged, post here and i'll prove that you're wrong :D
ps.: i put the other airplanes to prove that its not a problem with my rudder control.
ps2.: does anybody knows the microsoft website to report bugs?

Well, this user made a video making a successful landing:

the dude in the video was tapping his break to keep control. I believe there is a problem with the brakes as I see people spin out all the time. That may be because of over aggressively braking or a configuration problem. In may case, I am having a hard time configuring the x52 pro flight controller and pro pedals to work together consistently. When I use my pedal brakes the plane brakes however when I release, they stay engaged. Also, on the initial application of braking with the pedals, (hitting just the left or the right) it goes in the opposite direction it should...really weird. But after I do that once, then both brakes will correct the plan in the right direction, ie right brake turns plan right.

Thats because FS guys are doing it all wrong ;), heres how its done 1st thing do not use the brake initially because IRL if you if you try to use the brake like you guys are doing you will:
1/ over heat the brakes and lose brakes altogether
2/ run off the end of the runway
3/ piss off your crew chief.
So on touch down 1st keep the nose up by pulling gently back on the stick, open the airbrakes and bleed the speed off. When the nose comes down then apply brakes and slow down and stop. I notice fael that you are using parking brakes as well another bad idea. You have to use the toe brakes as the park brake in some aircraft may not allow the ABS or anti skid system to kick in. BTW in a car if you lock up your wheels you can also spin out the way you did with the Hornet in that video. Park brakes are for parking toe brakes/airbrakes and aerobraking is for stopping.
