Taxiing the default DC3
Posted: 02 Mar 2007, 00:12
Hi chaps,
Johns superb paints have persuaded me to have a go with the default DC3, and so far, I have encountered only one major problem - I cant taxi the darned thing! I am familiar with models which use differential braking for steering - Lancastrian, Ensign et al - but the Dakota just doesnt seem to steer at all. No matter how much brake I apply, how hard I twist the stick, or how slowly I'm going, the plane still trundles on straight ahead, then suddenly turns about face and leaves me red-faced! :think: If there is a 'trick' to steering these things, I would be very grateful for a few pointers I seem to rember avsim or nonodes having a modified aircraft.cfg which made braking and steering easier, but I cant seem to find it available for download anywhere.
Thanks in advance
Rich
