Matchstick Posted July 16, 2022 Report Posted July 16, 2022 I'm liking the new Mu-2 a lot but I'm noticing that the Toe Brakes seem very ineffective at low speed. With prop at taxi and throttle at ground Idle the plane creeps forward even with full tow brakes and similarly they can't hold the plane stationary on a slope like Runway 05 at LPMA. The parking brake works fine in these situations so I'm not sure if this is a bug or a quirk of the real thing. Quote
Ch.Cole Posted July 16, 2022 Report Posted July 16, 2022 Seems to be a bug. I noticed that the plane comes to a stop, and then accelerates again, as if the brakes were released, even if the pedals (sim and hardware) are still depressed. Quote

Always a relief to know other people are seeing an issue rather than it just turning out I'm doing something wrong I see what you mean about the starting and stopping or jerking motion. Quote
tkyler Posted July 16, 2022 Report Posted July 16, 2022 I THINK, I may have shipped with the "Brake Application Rate" preference set to 10 seconds. Check this...and then set it to 1 and see if that's more normal. Regarding the the stop/accelerate thing...haven't seen that, will do some tests. Which commands are you using for the braking? or perhaps hardware toe brakes assigned to left/right? -TomK Quote

As you suspect I am using the standard hardware toe brake mappings - is there a different mapping to be used instead ? Quote
tkyler Posted July 16, 2022 Report Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) No...this is definitely a bug on my end. ...verified. Glad you have the parking brake in the meantime till we get this updated! This is what I get for applying toe brakes during testing.....seeing the brake value go up and down and then walking away and going "ah, it works"...because I still have 1000 more things to test that day Great catch and definitely on the bug list. Thx for reporting. -TomK Edited July 16, 2022 by tkyler 2 Quote
