ground steering w/o pedals

Post by nitzane »

Hey guys,
I love the c-172 and the fidelity level is awesome on this bird!

Flying it without pedals, using a twist axis on my stick for rudder and no pedal brakes, i keep taxiing off the taxi ways.

is there a way to get the plane to ground steer without the use of diff brakes?

Hi Nitzan and welcome,

By default, in FSX and P3D, if you don't have separate left and right toe brake axes (for example, if using a twist-stick rudder axis) you need to apply rudder and brake input simultaneously to apply differential brakes. In other words, twist the stick and press the brake button at the same time.

Thanks,

Thank you nick, but thats exactly what gets me off the taxiways, bc its very difficult to be accurate with that braking system. is there a way to get steering to be more "ruddery"? maybe a cfg file change?
