A neat little DM VC10 feature...?

Has anyone noticed that while taxiing, if you turn right, the nose-wheel turns left and vice-versa?
I know that the VC10 was capable of great many things, but this I didn't know...
At least it does on the Super....haven't tried the others...

Perhaps because it was posted at half past midnight?

Hi Dan,
I fired up FS9 last night and looked at the SVC10 and all appeared OK my end. I was going to reply but re-reading your message you said 'while taxiing' and I'd only looked at it whilst stationary. Does yours work opposite whilst stationary ? Maybe it's a 'keyboard' thing?

No problem with any of my VC10s, Dan.
But remember you're in Sydney at the moment. Southern hemisphere with a northern hemisphere keyboard? Hmm?
Try turning the keyboard round the other way

Hi Dan
Just checked G-ASGK and it's fine here.

Maybe it's like the water down the plug hole thing.

Perhaps yours is knackered through overuse Dan! :think:

Agreed! You do fly her a lot Dan, and are you up to date on the old technical checks? Don't be skimping on the hangar time now dear boy!

If you have the yaw damper on, the nose wheel will do silly things while taxiing.
You can sometimes get a similar effect with the yoke in the 1-11 VC. If you have the A/P set a certain way it can look like the yoke is going the wrong way for elevator control, when really it's just the A/P fighting your inputs.
My money's on the Australia explaination though.
