Speedbrakes and wheel brakes

[ericnelson7]

Speedbrakes can be operated without electrical or hydraulic power, so that needs to be corrected.

Wheel brakes don't have enough effect to remain stopped at 85%.  They also can't steer the aircraft without kicking rudder pedals, though I'm not sure MSFS code allows true caster steering.

Hello,

I'll pass this on to the team. Thanks!

Oops, wheel brakes do hold up to 100% power, no bug.  My fault: I had 1% extremity deadzones on my brake pedal axes.

Brake effect for caster steering would still be a welcome improvement if possible.

Hi again,

Non-caster steering is intentional due to the T-33 requiring differential braking to steer. Glad you resolved the wheel brake issue! We have logged the problem regarding the speed brakes. 😊

By caster steering I meant differential braking...the brakes don't yet have enough "grab" to allow that to work.  I know PC pilots may prefer rudder pedal steering, so maybe an EFB switch could offer either mode for ease of use or full reality.

In v1.03 the speedbrakes still actuate without battery/hydraulic power.
