hotelfox 18 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 After collecting the first hours on your excellent F-16 I am absolutely delighted with that add on! It is great fun to fly that bird!To avoid too high landing weights I calculated the fuel so that I would arrive at some 30% fuel quantity left (or less).Everything fine! After touch down I reduce speed to somewhat around 10 to 15 kts when approaching a TWY entry. What I find remarkable is that now my acft increases speed again with the throttle at 'idle', so that I have to step into the brakes regularly if I want to keep a realistic taxi speed.Whenever I watched F-16' s taxiing back to their shelters after their completion of a mission I didn' t realize such kind of continuous braking activity ...My version: 1.1, updated to 1.2 by download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotelfox 18 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hello Hotelfox,Let me set up my F-16 to 30% fuel and see what she does.Hello Shaun,Thanks for your prompt reply, and - sorry for not posting this issue in the F-16 support forum. For your information - I used the 'Search' function before posting. But printing 'F-16' in the box didn' t cause any results ... Here is one more more detail for your investigation: As far as I can judge the problem only occurs with the AM-models.I am curious what you will find out!

Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hello HotelFox,I found an interesting article which answers the question.If you read the article here, apparently this is quite normal behaviour.The Falcon will move at idle throttle.

Nevertheless, thanks for your effort (still love the F-16!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerclaw 31 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Don't know if this is what you're after, but I noticed something the other day, and again yesterday. If you are gathering too much speed taxiing, while in the VC (virtual cockpit), click the throttle lever (which is on the left side for those that don't know), and drag it backwards. The engine RPM's drop as does the speed.Maybe yours isn't the same, but even when my throttle is pulled right back to the stop, I can still get this extra movement by clicking and dragging the throttle backwards. It doesn't stop the plane totally, but the taxi speed is much more manageable.Hope this helps someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
