Plane/Jet Brakes

Chanvlan · 06-29-2008, 07:43 PM

Heya all, I am posting this thread to ask / suggest a button that activates a "Handbrake" on planes an other aircraft, because personally, i always manage to get the plane down its just stopping before that dam wall thats the problem, so what i usually have to do is jump out, saving the aircraft by stopping it instantly but killing me in the process. I was just going to suggest a handbrake "button" that could be used to help stop the aircraft, like locking the wheel brakes, or if there is one can someone tell me what it is cause i have searched everywhere and cannot find it at all. Any thats its thnx.

positive suggestion and feedback below!

Pull back on the stick, or press the down arrow, as long as you're not traveling fast enough, it activates the brake on the Taxi Engine, watch Rhino's How To video for jets.

I think he's talking about when landing. I noticed aswell if you come in just a tad too fast on a landing, you're screwed. Because even at optimume landing speed you still only stop at the very end of the runway. It would be nice if you had a break that locked up your wheels and just slowed you down drasticly so you could land without needing perfect precision. Would also be handy for "combat landings" nothing worse then trying to land with an enemy jet lurking about.

yeh precisly soetimes you cant do the whole prep and fly to the opposite corner of the map and only have 1 side of the map to work with. Just a brake that could stop you when you hit the runway would be good.

If your going too fast, jump out, the jet will stop instantly. Yes you will get wounded or die but the jet will survive.

Watch it, follow it, and your jet flying and landing will become easier.

or how about a realisticaly lengthened runway?

then it would be bigger the kashan, and that would suck. just going to say somthing, it isnt hard to land, you come in at like 700 for a f16/mig and when you are like 200m away from the start of the run way and like 50m above the ground you let go of W and glide untill you hit the runway, when you hit the runway you should be going like 500, now pull up and you will slow down.

Are airbrakes at all possible in BF2? I'm not sure how much good they do at high speeds, but would they be at all useful when landing?

Plane handling and physics are still very much a WiP, I believe.

	Basically...out of all the ridiculous religion stories—which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous—the silliest one I've ever heard is, "Yeah...there's this big giant universe and it's expanding, it's all gonna collapse on itself and we're all just here just 'cause...just cause." That, to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever. - Trey Parker
