I downloaded a plane, which doesnt steer using the joystick, when I am on the ground. I was wondering if there was a setting someplace, like the aircraft.cfg file, that I can change to make it steer on the ground, instead of having to use the individual brakes?
Thanx

i would assume there is such a place where you could change that... some aircraft do steer using only the breaks... what plane is it?

It's a Lancair Legacy

If your twist function doesnt work for that aircraft, you can always use differential brakes ( F11 and F12 I think )

But Im sure there is a way to change something in the .cfg or .air file.

Hi BBW,

At the loss of 'realism', this change to the aircraft.cfg/[contact_points] will change your non-steerable tail wheel to steerable.

Simply change the Steer Angle, I find something between 40 and 50 degrees gives the best handling.

Parameters to identify tail wheel....my notes....Parameter to change
