Since in CloD brakes on British planes work as "ON/OFF" like in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6yu4OFhNA0&feature=player_embedded#t=2439s), a alternative to "tab" key B.



Simulating British brake lever with josytick trigger.

In Controls > Aircraft
Select "Full Whell brakes" command,
click in New and in the new windows box simultaneous hit:
Ctrl and joystick trigger.

After landing press and hold Ctrl and "tap" joystick trigger - you finger is well trained in doing this. :D

The "HUD" show sucessives:
"Wheel Brakes:On,
Wheel Brakes:Off"...

While involving another key (the modifier), hit the trigger instead "B" is more natural. :thumbsup:

Of course, to brake only right or left wheel push the rudder to corresponding side while hit the trigger.
See in A2A Spitfire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL3AA8380A2188EE41&v=WsgEiJoBxX0&feature=player_detailpage#t=134s) how this work - in CloD Spit/Hurri the whell brake lever in control column lack animation. But have in Blenheim.
And don't worry, your weapons will not fire. :devilish:

Now, in Controls > Axes

Select "Whell brakes", and in the new windows box simultaneous:

Press and hold Shift key and move joystick Y axis back.

Set the deadzones like in this picture:

This settings allow use "park brakes": press Shift and slightly move joystick (Y) back. In game you hardly notice movement in control column.

Notice in the insert on above picture that only the "Whell Brakes:On" message is show, confirming the "park brakes".

To release the "park brakes": press Shift and slightly move Joystick (Y) to front, or press Ctrl+trigger, B...

This is extremely useful when starting Blenheim engines.



BTW - The modifier keys are suggestions, use the most convenient. Tested with Tm. T1600M joystick.

Good Grief. (Not directed at you, Sokol mate!)

Plea to the forum Admin/Moderators;

Please can we have a stickied post explaining to the world in general that toe brakes do not exist or function in RAF aeroplanes in 'Cliffs of Dover'?

They are not there. They do not exist. They do not exist simply because they did not and do not exist in Supermarine Spitfires, Hawker Hurricanes or Bristol Blenheims, whether then, now, or in the future.

One has to dedicate a button on one's joystick to 'toggle wheel brakes', and then learn to control the aeroplane on the ground in the following fashion; combine one's skill with the brake control and one's skill with the rudder function.

I promise that this is the final time that I will respond to a thread involving RAF brakes. Honest.

yep Dutch is right, think it was the typhoon that introduced differential braking on a British fighter?
before that they Hurri and Spit used a single lever like a pushbike on the spade grip that operated both!

Well thanks for responding one last time as this is the one Google found based on whatever I put in the search bar. This answers my question BTW.

British brakes are not on/off anymore... they are differential.

What? They are? I must have missed that. I have a axis (the throttle wheel on my CH fighter stick) I use for the brakes. So now if I roll it up to 15/20% I can turn with my rudder? Nice :thumbsup:
