adjusting ground steering

[biggjoe_3]

Hi everyone, Can someone tell me how to adjust the ground steering. I would like to make an acft steer more on track with the nose gear. The gear turns plenty but the acft hardly turns. Thanks for any help.

Don't hold me to this as I'm not an expert in the aircraft.cfg but maybe this will help you.

This peice of code is from the default FS9 Beech Baron.

point.0 = 1,  0.82,  0.00, -3.77, 1600, 0, 0.633, 40, 0.42, 4.0, 0.90, 3.0, 3.0, 0, 152, 180
point.1 = 1, -8.04, -4.79, -3.93, 1600, 1, 0.886,  0, 0.50, 2.5, 0.85, 4.1, 4.3, 2, 152, 200
point.2 = 1, -8.04,  4.79, -3.93, 1600, 2, 0.886,  0, 0.50, 2.5, 0.85, 4.3, 4.1, 3, 152, 200

The red number 40 is the steer angel for the nose gear. I'm guessing that it will rotate 40 degrees. The steer angle should be the eighth number after the = sign in your contact points. Try increasing the number a little bit at a time and see what you get.

Thanks for the reply Dornep, That did the trick.
