GiaMag411 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 So I have decided to take this old aircraft for a spin after a while and noticed this: While taxiing, the aircraft resists the turns. When I try to turn, the aircraft brakes so much that you have to add thrust - a lot of thrust - to turn around (60% N1 for the tightest turn), which is obviously unrealistic. The aircraft supposedly has body gear steering, although the corresponding switches don't exist due to low system depth, so it is active all the time. It's not that I care a lot about this, but I'm really curious since I've never ran into a similar problem with any other aircraft I've ever used. Any idea what it could be causing this and, if possible, disable the said setting from? Has anyone encountered such a problem before? (Sorry if this has already been answered sometime, but didn't manage to find anything related) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) FSX, FSX Acceleration, or P3? Do you use EZDOK, V4.0 or V4.1?

GiaMag411 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 - FSX Acceleration (Golden Edition) - I use ezdok v2 Not sure how these could be related though. In general, this plane has many issues so I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of them with no apparent solution. Every other plane has worked perfectly fine (E.g. Wilco 737 v2 which is what I mainly use). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiaMag411 Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Update: Issue Fixed. It seems that it was an issue in the aircraft.cfg. After some thinking I decided to have a closer look at what I initially suspected to be the root of the problem, the contact points. The body gear contact points had a max limit of -13 deg steer angle, with the nose wheel at 70 deg. Perfectly normal in reality, but FSX does not handle well the body gear steering as it it is set via the contact points. It probably detects that the body gear, instead of helping out the turn, block it, as they have to be dragged by the aircraft while at an angle, thus working like brakes. Reducing that -13 deg setting to -0.xx removed it. The -0.xx is a non zero value so that there is still some resistance on tight turns, although minor. Personally somewhere around -0.2/-0.5 was ok.

GiaMag411 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Not really the issue so no need to disable. Issue was in the contact points and, as said above, was fixed. Fuselage shaking works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
