Toe brakes question
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 23:46
Please excuse if this has been asked and answered. I've been reading through this forum and both DCS and IL2 forums for an answer without success.
I'm currently waiting on delivery of my Gladiator II (non-pro) and Mk IV rudder pedals.
One question I have that I haven't found an answer for is regarding toe brakes. I 'fly' only WWII flight sims and the aircraft require both rudder control and toe brakes for taxiing.
The way I understand the virtual toe brake utility is that you have axis for right and left brakes simultaneous with the rudder. I don't understand how you'd be able to take off using right rudder to overcome engine torque if you were applying hard braking on the right wheel.
One way around that would be to use the twist stick to control yaw and the pedals for toe brakes but then they wouldn't function if you needed to apply both brakes.
Thanks
