Some newbie questions about brakes simulation

So, in the Spitfire you had to apply brake pressure with a lever and to distribute it with the rudder, correct ?

Correct, and is not cheat, is British. Well, WWII Russian planes like IL-2 use the same system, it is more secure for a injured pilot than the Yankee system (one can brake without use legs.

And in CloD you can use Park brakes" or simulate "Wheel chockes".

I notice that IA use park brakes so I fiddle with commands and found this solution:


ImageShack.us

Assign in "Axes" for Wheel Brakes* joystick Y axis (default elevator axis), but whit a modifier button (N), so Y axis acct as wheel brakes only when N is pressed, if not is normal elevator command.

Important is the deadzones settings, so hitting the modifier button - N in case - and slight move the stick back (in game stick barely move) brakes are ON when you release the pressure over Y axis an N key and stay ON until you do the same procedure moving stick front or hit B (default key for brakes).

Now I have park brakes for British planes, and 'wheel chocks" for Germans.

See in this video how British (Hurricane) brakes are used at 10:37 and at 11:58 how active park brakes.

*Notice that besides "Park brakes/Wheel chocks" you can assign you rudder pedal brakes for Left and Right Wheel Brakes too, for planes with "Toe brakes", ie. Bf-109.
