Hello everyone the other day I downloaded a DC10 and after I had installed it the first problem I discovered was the radio panel did not show up. That was an easy fix but the next little problem is a first for me.
I had the engines running and had clearance to taxi to the active runway but when I pressed shift +P nothing happened the plane did not budge. I said OK now what! got into spot view and pressed shift +P again and you can see the tug start to move toward the plane but when it comes to the nose wheel it simply backs up again and does not try to push the plane. I repeated this process several times with the same result the plane will not push back.
Any one seen this before? I am thinking it might be the contact points but really have no clue at all.
I looked closely at the landing gear and wheels everything looks oaky the gear is not buried nor is the plane floating. I tried going into slew mode than pressing shift +F1 which makes sure the plane is on the ground but nothing happened.
So far I have not been able to figure this out.
HELP anyone.

The problem is one of size...the tug is too small to push back the DC-10. I don't know how to correct it but the few times I've come across this in my own set-ups was to use full reverse thrust to move the plane back. I suspect that you might be able to correct it in the cfg file but I don't have clue one of where it is...or how to adjust it. Good luck!

I never thought of that
