BadBud Member Registered: 04/08/01 Posts: 1378 Loc: Alpine, California, USA	Can someone please tell me how to turn the Spit and Hurri while taxiing after landing. Have a button set for all breaks which works fine, but rudder alone does not do well for trying to get somewhere on the ground. Put in autopilot while landing and it taxis right to the hanger and parks inside. So I know it is possible. Thanks, BadBud FaceBook: san Diego Simflite club

The Brits used a system where you depress the main brake binding and use the rudder (with main stick deflection back) to direct the left/right braking, while the Axis use two separate left/right button bindings for the toe-brakes in CloD.

Spyder512 Member Registered: 03/10/07 Posts: 337 Loc: Franklinville, New Jersey	I am still in the process of figuring this out myself. I can turn with rudders, but not very sharply or controlled it seems like... and I don't have toe breaks on my rudders so I've set buttons in the controls for left and right wheel break, but it seems they don't work when in-game. I tried to use buttons on my HOTAS and on the keyboard both with the same non-effect. I press the button/key and my plane will still keep rolling straight as if nothing is being pressed. Anyone have any ideas?

Fried Junior Member Registered: 11/07/11 Posts: 3	I find the best way to get tight turns is to give it just enough throttle to get it moving, apply brakes (I have my brake button set to apply both brakes) and full rudder, can almost turn on the spot at times although I do find occasionaly the rudder doesnt seem to do much, seeks a bit hit and miss. edit thats for the Spit Edited by Fried (05/10/12 10:30 AM)

Anyone have any ideas? As said in the message just above yours the Allied planes don't use the left/right toe brakes key binding but the single brake and rudder. They still have differentiial brakes, it's just the control setup is not the same as the Axis aircraft in-game.

Senseispcc Member Registered: 04/11/11 Posts: 396 Loc: Belgium but not in Flanders	* In game it is hard to master but for the British planes it is on/off brakes and rudder direction so you must add power but not to much so you do not end with your nose in the ground and at the same time direct the plane. Trimming the plane tail havy helps. Never apply brakes when your speed is over 10Mph. To turn your aircraft stop completely then aply brakes and ruuder then add power until the plane turns. _________________________ My PC; Win7 x64 Asus p6x58d I7 975 3.75Ghz System & game ssd 120Gb (great for the system and for my games). 12 Gb (6*2Gb) ddr3 1600Mhz memory Geforce gtx580 1.5Gb two of them SLI Trackir 5 Logitech G940.

In CoD it feels like you have a turning circle something equivelent to the Queen Mary !

BadBud Member Registered: 04/08/01 Posts: 1378 Loc: Alpine, California, USA	Toe breaks work in IL-2 for the Spit and Hurri which makes taxiing and parking a breeze. Thanks for the suggestions, Badbud FaceBook: San Diego SimFlite club
