Increasing the Effectiveness of Parking Brakes? (Read 337 times)

Hey,

I need to know how to make my parking brakes in the F/A-18E more powerful. They don't hold the aircraft still enough to do catapult takeoffs, so can anyone tell me how to do this?

Do I need to edit the aircraft.cfg value or is the .air file? If it's the .air file, where can I get a program to do this with, freeware if possible.

Thanks.... Wink

I am not sure but you might have to edit both the .air file
& the aircraft cfg file.
To edit the .air file there is a progarm called AIRED that is freeware not sure where I found it at. But if you google it I sure you can find it. 8)

Whitey old bean in aircraft.cfg look for;

[brakes]
parking_brake = 1
toe_brakes_scale = 1.24

increase the magic number to achieve the desired effect Wink

I have a similar problem with the Pilatus PC12, except when I release the brakes it starts to roll, anyone have any ideas on how to fix that?
