I don't have a problem either, when your airplane slides that means you are going too fast. you need to give a little power, have the aircraft move forward a bit before you gently turn the rudder to the left or right. You want to have the airplane gently rolling, going too fast is your problem. I am sorry to say that your trying to blame the product or the customers for what is likely user error, and being insulting about it "thier still in denile)"?

Disregard. Not worth the time.

Yep that post is exactly what I mean!!!I couldn't go any slower or I stop!"insulting about it" oh get a life!

interesting, get a life. and here you are accusing and complaining and refusing to listen to everyone else

>Mike, that's because there really isn't any pressing issues>on the LevelD 767. Can't say that for the 747 though> Is it too much to ask some folks to not start a my sim Vs your sim here? I'm sure I am not the only one that is pretty fed up with the comparisons and put downs. I have GREAT respect for LDS's team, great aircraft and who care about the realism factor but there is realy no need to belittle other developers who are trying to achieve the same thing. Please lets try to be respectful. It's something I have personally been working on since I have in fact been guilty of this very thing in my "zeal" for a particular developer. This hurts Avsim, this hurts the flight sim comunity so again lets all try to be a little more open minded and less dogmatic.[h4]Randy J.

I am curious as to what those pressing issues with the 747 are post 1.10?

what was the point of that?

agreed

True to what you say, the person is asking why his nose gear does NOT TURN!!!!!!Its the same on Micro Planes on the program and they too do not turn but slide when you turn your aircraft.Swapping some Air Files and Aircraft CFG's should do the trick, if you know what your doing to get the plane to work with wheels moving about when turning. I did, and granted some of these planes so designed from others have so many faults and problems it is hard to weed out the bad ones from the sites itself. One has to do trial and error.Now Charlie, do you know anything about the DFD gauges and sounds. I am having a huge fit with these and keep getting messages saying there is an error and needs to be disabled, even tho I already did the FS9 cfg under old modules. Any solution to this??? and where in the doggie heaven can I find this site that has the entire programing of these DFD gauges and sounds?????? By the way DFD stands for Dragon Flight Design!!!! Interesting huh?????Nice to know your still around buddy, and how is your son doing on that yoke of yours???????ChanRak

Well James before you start saying people are in denial how do you have your system setup.What do you have your nosewheel steering assigned to.Note i said nosewheel steering not the rudders they are two seperate controls just like in the real aircraft.I along with many others have NO issues with the nosewheel steering on the 400.I have the nosewheel steering assigned to the radar wheel on my cougar and have no problems at all.Sounds like you have an issue in your assignments as opposed to the 400 having a problem.Darren

HeY all,had the same issue, no turning, however after starting up with the default cessna with everything off. Again loading the queen using cold n dark, going through the usual startup, the problem no longer exsist.hope that helps,AVGAS

Is the yaw dampner off? I don't own this plane, but that is a common cause of that issue.

I'm really confused as to what the issue here is:1) Is it that when turning and viewing the plane from spot view that the nose wheel doesn't actually turn on the model?OR2) That while in the cockpit and taxiing, the 747 actually doesn't make a turn when the control inputs should make it turn? I have the 747 and have found that the 747 seems to taxi very nicely as long as one remembers that the nose wheel is a significant distance behind you on the plane. i.e. you have to "lead" the plane in a turn where sometimes the cockpit is extending beyond the taxiway but the nosewheel is still on the tarmac. If it's the animation issue, I haven't noticed it, but that's because I don't usually watch my turns from spot view. If the nosewheel is not rotating, then it's a bug; and to me a very minor one in terms of performance, but I can understand those who would be upset from an aesthetic standpoint. Mike

Darren - That's interesting! Do you have to assign the nose wheel separate from the rudder? How do you do this? Could be the answer! At the minute i have a joystick with rudder twist so that's how i normally steer.Also for the others trying to help (thanks) it's when i look using spot view that i notice the problem. my wheel does 'turn' so i don't think it's the same problem others are having with the wheel itself not turning (staying straight) due to leaving the yaw dampers on.It just doen't appeare to look like 'it's' doing the steering - if you get me. I realy have been trying to taxi slowly but still have the problem.I mean i've been simming for quite a few years now from 'greatest airliners 737-400, pss 777 pro, thru eaglesoft jets pmdg 737ng and level-d 767-300. All of which are fantastic!it's just a niggling point for me. I must say it is slightly more noticable if you turn while taxiing on a surface that has straight line markings on it (replacement concrete apron textures for example).*One way that does replicate it on other planes is if you make them be as light as possible with minimal fuel and no passengers etc. Then you find that the engines are so powerfull it makes the nose wheel kind of slide as you taxi round corners.Thanks for giving advice.James (who's just too darn fussy!)
