Weird problem with nosewheel steering

Postby ajver » Wed Apr 26, 2006 4:18 am

I have built a MiG-29 (FSDS V.2) but the nosewheel steers in the opposite direction.  This only happens when the nosegear is animated.  If I just put the nosegear in position without retraction animation the steering is correct.

What on earth can be the problem ?

Try keyframe animating it using "C_Wheel" as the name and 100-200 as the keyframes.

Thanks for the information Locke.  I can do what you suggested but I still don't know why this is happening.  I have built more than 100 aircraft and have never encountered this problem.

I believe I finally discovered the reason for this problem.  My nosegear is too detailed.  I stripped some of the parts off and it then worked as it should.
