I must say that I'm very, very impressed with the P-51 that you people put out! It is a blast to fly! It also has a feature that I would like to install in all of my aircraft, if possible.
When I use the left rudder and hit the brakes, it uses differential braking to assist on the turn. I love this feature! Is it possible to add this to other aircraft? If so, what is the code and where do I install it?

I believe that differential braking is built into the model in the case of the P-51.

However, you can add the feature to any aircraft in your hangar by editing the aircraft.cfg file in 'Notepad'. Although it is generally only used on 'tail draggers' it can be useful on multi-engined aircraft if you only have a single throttle to control all engines and therefore cannot easily make 'engine turns'.

To add the feature open up your aircraft.cfg file of choice in 'Notepad' and scroll through until you find the [brakes] section and then add the following line:

    differential_braking_scale = 1.0

Save the file after adding the line and you should be good to go. :wink:
