That's because the A-26 has a castoring nosewheel that relies on differential braking. It's not a glitch, the real aircraft is like that.

If you would still like to sacrifice realism for usability, it's a quick adjustment, just let someone here know.  ;)

The Douglas A-26: My favorite airplane. Well, that and the F7F Tigercat...

So it must pop into full caster after a certain point just like a tailwheel.  Could the fix be the same one used for the DC3 tailwheel?

That's apparently what was being said in the installation file note.  Slowly, a glimmer of understanding........... :).
