Beech 18 Questions

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone!Thanks again Milton for another wonderful contribution to our hobby!I probably should know this (shame on me), but I can't resolve a steering problem I am having. I use the CH pro pedals and the only way I can steer is using differential braking, whether the tail wheel is locked or not. Moving the pedals and turning the yoke does not work either. What am I doing wrong?What is the proper way to start the engines?Thanks for your help!Airbus

well,it may be even more shocking,but you actually steer the bird with differential braking and thrust...if you want to change that,find this line://point.0 = 1, -19.904, 0.000, -0.637, 2200, 0, 0.33, 45, 0.51, 2.0, 0.50, 3, 5, 0, 139, 175.2//Replace contact_point.0 below with the one above if you want a steerable tailwheel. You may comment out the one below with //, and activate the one above by removing the //and act accordingly :)cheersJP.

Milton, I hope you're following this thread too since I have a question as well. Every time I open or close the cowl flaps, the percentage numbers come up different. For instance, one time the numbers will jump in large percentages (0%, 38%, 68% & 100%), and other times in smaller increments (0%, 23% 43%, etc). One time I couldn't achieve the same percentage for both cowl flaps. Has anyone else seen this anomoly? By the way, it would be nice, if possible, to have a way to ask questions on your web site for the Beech. And thanks for the transponder panel. Great and useful addition in keeping with the theme and times.

I've also seen this, in every plane that I use cowl flaps on, so I assume it's an FS thing? -JeremyThe Ozark DogfighterHappy Flying!
