Fix for making the DR1 come to a complete stop.

[jmoscola2012 0]

I discovered how to fix it. Under the Wheels section, you have to increase the braking coeficient for the right and left wheels. You can find these sections in the DR1_Data.ini. I increased mine from .75 to .90 and now it comes to a complete stop.

 

Best of luck,

Joe

Excellent! you have discovered what no one has found before.

 

I had a little trouble finding them, the settings are under RightmainGear and LeftMainGear.

 

My search for "Wheels" went into limbo.

 

It works though, but you need to be careful lest you nose over with too much brake too early. That may be why the original setting were a bit weak.

 

Thanks again.!

Believe me, I was bound and determined to make that plane stop and kept looking through the data.ini every night until I found one thing that may have something to do with it and if that didn't work, I'd search for something else.

 

I'm quite adept at editing these ini files because i've been playing WOV since it came out. I just have to learn how to make skins next.

 

Thank you for you wonderful comment. It's greatly appreciated,

Joe

You may even be able to go with .78 on the braking coeficient. Keep trying the the lowest numbers on each wheel until it stops ;-))

The BrakingCoefficient works since it is supposed to be coupled with

 

HasBrakes=TRUE

 

In this case, none of the FE planes have brakes.

 

The statement may have been left from a previous WWII plane

 

The problem is that the Wheels and tail skid have a very, very low rolling coefficient. Hey the goverment said to increase the Fleet Milage didn't they? :)

 

 

What you need to change is this

 

[LeftMainGear]

SystemType=LANDING_GEAR

.

.

// HasBrakes=TRUE <- Left from a WWII plane most likely

// BrakingCoefficient=0.75

RollingCoefficient=0.25 <- Increase the Rolling Coefficient to this value, even try 0.30

 

[RightMainGear]

.

.

// HasBrakes=TRUE <- Left from a WWII plane most likely

// BrakingCoefficient=0.75

RollingCoefficient=0.25 <- Increase the Rolling Coefficient to this value

 

[TailGear]

SystemType=LANDING_GEAR

.

.

RollingCoefficient=0.5 <- Increase to this value, even try 0.70

 

 

I'll send the info to Charles

Well done....its a good find.

 

Thanks for sharing.............

Thanks Capun for explaining it. I'll also try your settings and see how it goes.

 

Warm Regards,
