Hi all

I am building some rudder pedals for a GA 'Desk Cockpit ' and want to implement differential braking currently I like flying VFR with a Scotish Aviation Bulldog [RAF Primary Trainer].
The choice is either switchs [ cheap and easy ] or potentiometers [ harder mechanically and setting up]
I think I read somewhere that proportional braking is not implimented very well in FS2002 is this true? so would switches be adequate ?
regards paul

Paul,

Don't know about fs2002......been using 2004 for quite a while now and have forgotten a lot of 2002 stuff already (senior moments  ;) ).

In fs2004 the toe brakes are proportional and seem to work well and smoothly.  I have the CH products pedals and the tow brakes are set up as separate "axis" controls.

The proportional control IS nice........ great for helping turn multiengine aricraft when combined with increasing thrust on one side.

I would think that simple "on" and "off" toe brakes would be very touchy to use for control.

best,
