AV-8B Differential braking issue

[Obi1]

Hello there,

I was taxiing the AV-8B in Nordic theater and had issues with the differential braking.
When pressing right it was actually behaving like pressing left. Pressing left felt like pressing both together.
I don’t have issues in other planes with the braking.

Now my question, is this also in stock KTO this issue? Can somebody that uses the AV-8B a lot tell me if they see this issue too?

And other question, what parts can be changed in files to fix wheel braking issues, so we could fix this if its a Nordic only issue.

Thanks and Cheers

It’s not only Nordic Obi, It happens to me as well when i fly it in other Theaters

Should the Harrier II even have differential braking? You have a nose gear, the main gear, and the outriggers. The outriggers could not rationally have brakes, and if they did, I think they’d put a lot of stress on the unit doing the braking. If the main gear has differential braking, you’re going to have next to little torque from braking to assist in turning, but perhaps even that little bit helps.

The main gear is on the center line, no effective differential breaking at all.

Then I expect left or right toe brake to create the same result, but the right swings the aircraft to one side, the left works as without differential.
Well guess I just need to use only my left foot for braking for now.

Thanks Mav-JP This was the answer I was hoping for!Will test this as soon as possible.Really appreciate it!Cheers Obi1

Then you should adjust the second part too, right? , because in original file gears were in different order.

…
but I’ve just checked in compare to the Balkans, afm’s are the same , and I don’t have problems with differential pedal braking, even on carrier, ….wtf…

what theatre are you referring to , (last) “Polar vortex” ?

What should be the order for gears on more then >3 gears plane? front/l/r/center ?

Thanks
