ailerons and rudder

Postby intheair_28 » Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:13 am

Is there any way to make the ailerons move during instant replay? And I've noticed (from watching real aircraft) that when the front wheel turns, the rudder doesn't move, but in fs9, it does. Is there any way to stop that?

The FS Recorder module (an improved instant replay-record/playback module) will playback most all animations, both exterior and cockpit.

As for the rudder/nose wheel connect: In the real world it depends on the aircraft. In the sim you would have to find aircraft that have that feature (seperate ground steering) built into the model. (I don't know if any exist or if it's even possible)

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

If I'm not mistaking, iFDG's MD-11's are that way. In fact, I thought the rudder animations were missing altogether, until they started working once I was airborn. :D DOH!
