• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 FS9 Trigger Button Adjustable Progressive Brakes Gauge

Hello,

Since this is for a gauge to be used for FS9 (which seems to be dead or dying as far as use and development), I will understand if this thread will not generate interest. Unfortunately, I can not use FSX/P3D without it eventually turning into a slideshow. So, with that disclaimer out of the way...

Like the subject says, I would like to see if an "FS9 Trigger Button Adjustable Progressive Brakes" gauge is available or can be fabricated? Here are the particulars...
  • Press the flightstick trigger button (or an alternative button) and there is an adjustable delay in milliseconds before it causes a braking response.
  • Once the braking begins, there should be a progressive increase in braking response. Given many things in the physical world increase/decrease according to an exponential curve, it makes sense (to me) the increase/decrease in braking response should follow exponential curves too. Perhaps an x^^2 or x^^3 calculation per each (adjustable) millisecond interval? I hope this makes sense?
  • When the brakes are released the same exponential effect should be invoked.
The general idea is to have an "on or off" switch mimic human braking application and mechanical hydraulic(?) response. I have scoured the Internet for a gauge of this type with no success which makes me wonder if it is even possible, but I can't see why it wouldn't be. Anyway, that is my request. Thanks for your consideration.

Take care,
Calvin


PS - Since I dropped out of sight a last year (and In case anyone is curious) here is a copy of a message I sent to another member explaining my being AWOL...

"I suffered some severe issues last year and lost my capability to "think through" processes. Weird, but true. I am better, but I am still having a lot of difficulty. I am not sure if I can or ever will be able to get the talent back. All I can do is take one day at a a time and see how it goes."

Take care.
 
Hi,

Generally, the problem is that you must use the AXIS commands to do this. This will fight any rudder pedals (with brakes) the user may have. Also, it tends to inactivate the keyboard brake commands.
 
Hi Tom,

Okay, I guess I had the wrong understanding. I thought there was a brake "pressure" variable in FS9 which could be manipulated mathematically.

Let me also add a personal note to you and your associates who have added so much to our wonderful hobby. I spent thirty-nine years trying to get my PPL or even a SPC until my health dictated I would probably never pass my aviation medical or check ride. Fortunately, all of the gifts and talents which you and others have offered (and that freely) allows me (and others) to live out dreams virtually which has brought much happiness. Thank you.
