December 16, 201114 yr According to the MS Container SDK, this point controls the amount of angle (degrees) that a wheel can pivot. I have been trying to reduce the total degrees, both positive and negative, to limit the nose wheel pivot of a 747. When reducing the value, it slows the nose of the AC from moving off center as the joystick is twisted to either side to effectuate turning. What it doesn't do is stop the wheel strut itself from turning, so that the wheel assembly is now "plowing" (AC is not moving in the direction of the tires). This is what I'd like to find out how to do. What parameters need to be changed to get the AC and tire angle of movement, to be the same.ThxChris
December 17, 201114 yr Hi,I bet your B747 is a Posky model It is in this library or in the flightsim library a fix for a Posky B747 model for avoid the nose wheels to slip when turningRead also this post:http://forum.avsim.net/topic/350539-aircraft-turning-angle-how-to-improve/page__view__findpost__p__2129500
December 17, 201114 yr Author Hi Navtech. Good guess! I read the linked post and changed the noted values. That helped, but the AC still skids above 8 knots taxi speed. Will search the library and see if I can find the fix. I also have the iFly freeware747-400 that tracks just beautifully and might swap the noted values from that aircraft cfg file to the Posky aircraft cfg just to see what happens.On another note about the Posky 747-400. I have the 3D Redux lights program and this aircraft will not accept wing tip strobes. When I configure them to the "lights" section, when loading the AC, FS crashes. Has happened repeatedly. Cancel out just those added lights, and FS loads and the 747 flies just fine. I believe because of wing flex, the strobes are built into the model and not part of the "lights" section. Still can't figure out why when I try to add strobes to the wing tips, that it crashes FS.Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
