Classic British Flight Sim

Just taken the Vanguard up and its definitely better. One of the things I wonder though is if it applies a more realistic reading of the nose gear turning. The Vanguard is more difficult to turn now, but it looks realistic given the angle the wheels are at. I must check the cfg file...

DB, any idea what the steering angle is on the Vanguard? (RW)

Just a friendly public service announcement,

Salmon, sunflower seeds, blueberries, and lean beef are the four most beneficial foods for a good working memory.

Ahhh. I guess that explains why Merlot, Guinness, Curry Chicken (with Basmati Rice), and pizza leave me walking around in a fog. Thanks Jim!

How on earth do you remember all that stuff, Joe?

Wonder if there's something similar for FS9? EricT

Ben..

The Vanguard's nosewheel range is 70% either side of centred. It will go a tad more but you risk losing control beyond that point. If I'm not mistaken, the red line on the gear door indicates this limit

Do you mean 70 degrees Dave?

Oh pants yes.. I'd not read what I'd typed.. 70deg

Cheers Dave,

I've change the contact point in the Vanguard cfg to be 140 degrees and it works a treat, but you need to turn it gradually otherwise it ends up pushing the nose wheel straight ahead at more acute angles. The animation only seems to go about 20 - 30 degrees either side of centre, but I doubt there's much we can do with that given the model must be going on for 10 years old
