V-1.1 Brakes somewhat weak?

Thanks for the new version. Lots of things fixed and working correctly.

My first impression on taxi was the brakes. I had to use the parking brakes to hold short on runway :oops: . I remember they were more efficient.

True for me, there number of personal tweaks that I have applied to this bird, but since there was no common agreement on that, these changes were not committed. One of them is brake defectiveness. If you like them to be more realistic, please apply the following change in aircraft.cfg:

[brakes]
toe_brakes_scale = 1.48 // Brake scalar was 0.6 previously
differential_braking_scale = 0.8 // 0.6 previous, 1 for full independent control for each pedal

It still simulates some wear BUT the thing here is that applying maximum force will lock the wheels and the tires will be skidding - operator's manual prohibits this for the obvious reasons. While keeping this in mind, value should be real.

I will give it a try today - never touch those innards, but ...

Some years ago I went to flight-school and trained in a Cessna 172. I remember each pedal was full independent.

Thanks for the tip and, if possible, Happy Easter
