My AI's all crash?

You may want to revise one thing. If "*Breaking Strength - Max (ft/sec^2*2048?)=" is the only thing that set braking strength. It is wrong to lower it in my testing.


I set *Breaking Strength - Max (ft/sec^2*2048?)= to 16384 and I was able to take off with the parking brake on. I was not able to do this with with 32767.

Sorry man, i forgot to mention that you have to do this in the negative, not positive numbers, such as -16384. Anyway i got this info back in my FDE schooling days from my guru, Rabijjah Guder, who wrote and circulated an excellent brief on air file editing called Air101.

In it he wrote:


  • Now go to Section 1101 of the airfile called Main Dynamics(FDE), or Flight Dynamics(AirEd) and edit the entry named Braking Factor(FDE), Braking Strength(AirEd). This entry controls the maximum force of the landing gears brakes. Valid entries are between –32768 and 32767. The lower the entry is, the stronger will be your gears. In fact if you make them too strong your plane can even crash while braking. Examples 737: -25536, Learjet: -15536, Bf109G: 12000. Since I read that the Me262 had very poor brakes I set this value to 18211.
Using negatives, this works well for me BTW. I remember when i first started experimenting in this i would set brakes so low that i would nose over and explode when i revved my engine too high with park brakes on.
 
Negative 16384 seemed to fix my pesky Kate .air. It kept wanting to running off into the water at Munda.
