Oz, how do you lock the tail wheel? There's no option under Assignments for that. And nothing on the panel to enable you to do that. I remember on the DC-3 (I have 1200 hours on the real airplane, last flight was in 1970) when you lined up on the runway you would let the airplane roll ahead a few feet to straighten out the tail wheel then use the lever underneath the pedestal, I can't remember if you pulled it back or pushed it forward to lock the tail wheel, one or the other. It certainly helped to keep the aircraft straight (until the tail came up).
