Hi all,I am quite experienced in sim-flying, however, quite new to the really nice MAAM DC-3.I have made my first traffic patterns in the UA pax DC-3 whithout the steerable tailwheel, i.e. only differential brakes and differential throttle. It worked quite well.I have now installed the OY-BPB and subsequently the LH CADE which I very much like, however, the tailwheel of these birds is steerable with the rudder which does not feel very realistic. I want to go back to the differential brakes and differential throttle way to turn the aircraft.I have checked the aircraft.cfgs but did not find the difference between steerable/non-steerable tailwheel.Is there somebody who could please help?Many thanks.TestFlyer

Ah, TestFlyer, let me count the ways we love you. A purist! Usually, the question is phrased the other way around!Look for the CONTACT POINTS first line. Perhaps yours reads like this:[contact_points]//GEARpoint.0=1.0, -37.0, 0.0, -1.0, 1575.0, 0.0, 0.75, 40.0, 0.22, 2.5, 0.7, 33.0, 33.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0Make a single change, as shown below (180.00 instead of 40.00):[contact_points]//GEARpoint.0=1.0, -37.0, 0.0, -1.30, 1575.0, 0.0, 0.75, 180.0, 0.22, 2.5, 0.7, 33.0, 33.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0All should now be well, and realistic once more.MarkEDIT: One thing I notice also in this comparison is that the fourth number, -1.0 in the first example, is changed to -1.30 in the second. It is so long since I fiddled with all this that I cannot remember offhand, but think this was to cure a floating tailwheel. Bill? Jan? You could test this, anyway, TestFlyer (that being your name!) as I don't have a working FS just now.... hardware problems.Mark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cx.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/avsimlogo.jpg[/a]
