Hi, could someone tell me how to edit the braking attributes on a particular aircraft? It's the Moyes Dragonfly by Christopher Hardt. For some reason it is very difficult to slow down or stop this ultralight.

Thanks for any help

As downloaded, the Dragonfly doesn't have any brakes...

Thanks

The existing values are:

//0  Class
//1  Longitudinal Position        (feet)
//2  Lateral Position             (feet)
//3  Vertical Position            (feet)
//4  Impact Damage Threshold      (Feet Per Minute)
//5  Brake Map                   (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right)
//6  Wheel Radius                (feet)
//7  Steer Angle                         (degrees)
//8  Static Compression           (feet)  (0 if rigid)
//9  Max/Static Compression Ratio
//10 Damping Ratio               (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped)
//11 Extension Time              (seconds)
//12 Retraction Time             (seconds)
//13 Sound Type

[brakes]
parking_brake = 1        //Parking brake available
toe_brakes_scale = 1  //Brake scalar

Do I still need to change something? Sorry, I'm not familiar with changing values in this game.

Change the 2 values in the [contact_points] section that I highlighted (in red) above.

Also, as I mentioned, you may have to reduce the toe_brakes_scale=

Ah, okay, I see now. Thanks for the advice

It worked, thanks!

Just one more question on the same aircraft (Moyes Dragonfly): does it have flaps at all?

Cheers

...another useful tip I use on aircraft which do not have them....

Differential brakes:

[brakes]
parking_brake = 1               //Parking brake available
toe_brakes_scale = 0.68    //Brake scalar//  I'd try it in  0.02  increments.
differential_braking_scale = 1.0  // rudder activated differential brakes

...useful for tight turns using the Rudder controls... ...!
