Controls suddenly forgotten by CloD?

My Full_Left_Wheel_Brake key was CTL q and mapped to my left toe brake, and if I happened to let my left foot rotate hard enough so as to initiate the toe brakes (> 250 on that axis) while shooting, that combination of firing the machine guns (space) was sometimes being interpreted as a combination of CTL q and space, "control space" - which is the toggle for opening the canopy.

I changed my Full_Left_Wheel_Brake key to SHF q, and that fixed the problem.

I'll keep watching for any other combinations of commands that may inadvertently cause other buttons to react unexpectedly, since I now can see it is NOT a CloD bug, just a problem with my key bindings.

How could you manage to map CH propedals toebrakes as keys ?, mine are not recognized that way, I could map them only as axis.-
My toebrakes doesnt work with Spitfire and Hurricane, only with some German aircraft.-

Hi Soldano,

Inspired by pages 6 and later of this thread at the CH Hangar and Revvin's IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover FSPTPP, I use this cms script for my toe brakes:

script
CMS.B5 = [JS3.A1 > 254]; // Full_Left_Wheel_Brake (SHF q)
CMS.B6 = [JS3.A2 > 254]; // Full_Right_Wheel_Brake (ALT q)
endScript

I should add that I only know from personal experience that it works for the 109, as that is the only German plane I've used on the ground. It may work with other German planes. Note that brakes only come on when the toe brakes are pushed all the way (point 254 out of a 255 point axis).

It does not work with the Spitfire or Hurricane, the only British planes I've used on the ground. The only way I know to make the brakes work on the those 2 planes is to press and hold down the "b" key, which activates full brakes on both wheels as long as you are pressing "b".

This appears to be a known issue, either a bug or a design choice that reflects the way brakes worked on those British planes.

It's done this way on purpose, because that's how it also worked on the real aircraft: single brake lever for the main pneumatic line, then a differential valve that's tied to rudder pedal movement for dividing the amount of pressure (and braking power) between left and right break.

In other words, your toe brakes don't work because the RAF didn't use them
