Captain Orso Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 A couple of questions about taxiing. The Pocket Guide say, "Idle thrust is high and will result in excessive taxi speed unless the brakes are used or nozzles deflected". What? :huh: I've never seen this. In fact I'm only seeing the opposite. With an aircraft with no weapons, only fuel tanks full, I release the parking brake and push the throttle up to at least 40% before I start to roll. Before actually starting to roll, I see the nose to go down a little and suddenly the aircraft jumps free, as if the Harrier has hill-holder brakes, which it must overcome. It's a very small jump, but one that can easily be seen if you watch the nose of the aircraft. Once I'm rolling, if I throttle all the way back, my taxi speed will slow and eventually come to a standstill --even quicker if any turns are made. This is certainly not as described by "excessive taxi speed unless the brakes are used or nozzles deflected". Anti-skid control... is there actually any reason to not have it set to NWS HI, other than maybe during VTOL? When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

Harlikwin Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Works as advertised for me IIRC. On idle it starts to roll though it takes a few seconds. Then I have to use brakes eventually as it picks up speed. This is on land btw. Edited December 8, 2018 by Harlikwin New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Lixma 06 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Just tried it and my Harrier (full fuel - no weapons) doesn't move at idle - 285rpm for me. I have to throttle up to 370rpm before she starts biting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Ill double check. I had just landed with no stores and presumably low fuel. I might have had more than idle throttle too. Usually though i find that the brakes suck. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

bkthunder Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 It doesn't move at all at idle, doesn't behave like explained in the natops.

Nealius Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I have a feeling ED's ground friction is modeled too high. Almost every module I have is like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varis Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I have a feeling ED's ground friction is modeled too high. Almost every module I have is like this. I don't think I've seen anything move on idle... not sure of the tanks though :smilewink: but all aircraft I have including helicopters.

Captain Orso Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Thanks guy. Well, at least I know it's not just me. When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

AirWalK Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Try Water on/ off Water off: Plane stops with throttle all the way back Water on: it gain speed anyway and you have to brake… I use it to taxi all the time (HOTAS-Button bind for Water on/off) Move along.....nothing to see here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
