lofty_c Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 pretty much just that - I"m late to the party, and now finally trying the subject planes, but they won't move when I throttle up, as if there are brakes/chocks. (it seems basic, and I tried a search , but maybe my words were wrong). I reinstalled, but no change, so I assume the package is good, and different terrains as well, no change.
Geary Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Usually the "B" key sets/releases brakes. Do the games' default planes take off with no problems?
lofty_c Posted January 18, 2021 Author Posted January 18, 2021 all other planes work properly, stock and add-on, and I tried B, alone and w/shift and ctrl. (and random banging on a bunch of other keys, if you can imagine!).
whiteknight06604 Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 are these the stock flight models? there are some great "aftermarket" FMs for these planes by VonS 1
VonS Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 In 90% of cases where the WW1 types won't budge on application of throttle, there's a problem with the rolling coefficient values either for the left/right wheels, or the tail-skid. Those have been changed in my FM update packs whenever necessary - there are tweaked FMs available in the big (ver. 9.9) pack for the Longhorn and Shorthorn too - maybe check those over and see if they "un-stick" on application of throttle. Both types are underpowered as historical but should move - takes a while to get them rolling but eventually they are fine. I'll double-check the Long/Shorthorns in my pack later today just in case - currently still tweaking the Bleriot XI FM for the model Swambast is working on. (Technically, brakes should not be available on these types - maybe they are in some of the stock FMs but otherwise no brakes in WW1.) The modded Long-Shorthorn FMs also remove the old, blocky pilots and observers and replace them with Stephen's much nicer pilot/observer combo (see pic. in link): https://combatace.com/forums/topic/92692-i-have-problem-with-stephens-farman-hf20-unarmed/?tab=comments#comment-748962 Von S 1
