Just wanted your attention mate :P

Why do my default DC-3 and MAAM DC-3 aircraft not turn on the ground? I've unlocked the tail wheel and all...Help ;D

You will have to use differential brakes, these are located on F10 and F11 (I think....its 2 F keys around there) and it basically applies brakes to only one wheel, turning the aircraft :)

If you have a joystick, just press the brakes and turn the rudder and you should engage the differential brakes :)

Hope that helps

Jeez ashar, for a second there I thought I did something wrong.

Yes, mic is right.  The default differential brakes are terrible, but MAAMs is very nice.

As an alternative, there is a value you can change in the CFG to make it have a steerable tailwheel, but for the life of me I can't remember which value it is!  All I remember is it needs to be changed to 60.  

Someone should know what Im talking about...


EDIT:  Possily here:



[contact_points]
point.0=1,  -56.00,  0.0,   -2.3, 1200.0, 0, 0.60, 180.0, 0.200, 2.5, 0.695,  0.0,  0.0, 0.0,   0.0,   0.0

Change the 180.0 to 60
