Braking without rudder pedals

[CaptainHamburguer]

"Hold brakes regular", which is the option intended for people without a smooth axis for brakes, is mapped to parking brake which makes braking extremely abrupt. Please consider fixing this!

Thanks

The brake handling is configured through X-Plane itself, we don't have a custom braking logic in place. We do however have a custom chock system with the brakes to simulate the chocks. Perhaps the chocks are engaged?

No, this is not related to the chocks.

I don't have any experience developing aircraft for XP so I suppose XP just provides de input 'Hold brakes regular' for the dev to implement and if it's not implemented it defaults to parking brake.

To reproduce this, map any key to 'hold brakes regular' and try braking with it, it'll just pull the parking brake when you press it and release it when you let go. So it's basically like braking with the parking brake which is not ideal for us non-pedal users

Hi CaptainHamburguer,

The default braking in x-plane 11 is shit, try this LUA plugin. I use it with a single braking button and it works well, although you can assign left and right braking buttons if you want. The longer you hold the button the more braking force it applies. It also supports the Zibo 737 if you fly that. You can customise the braking force for each plane you have.
