TBM - turns like a shopping trolley

Recommended Posts

I have my sensitivities dialed in pretty nicely, after much fiddling and testing.  I would say on all the aircraft I fly this isn't an issue but the TBM (maybe since update 4) turns really sluggish on the ground when I have full rudder left or right?  For instance if I am doing a back taxi I can barely turn around full circle if the runway is pretty narrow.  Anyone else?

This has always been an issue with the default version, even after the update (which resolved a lot of other issues).  The ground handling with the tbm-improvement mod has always been great.  Someone posted this edit (which gives you that same good ground control):

Nose Wheel:

In the original file flight_model.cfg you'll see:
---------------------------------

max_castering_angle = 3.14159265358979 ; Defines the maximum angle a free castering wheel can take (in radians).
point.0 = 1, -7.5, 0, -4.14, 720, 0, 0.52, 15, 0.327, 1.5, 0.9, 13, 13, 0, 0, 0, 4

Change the 15 to 60 so it looks like the below:

max_castering_angle = 3.14159265358979 ; Defines the maximum angle a free castering wheel can take (in radians).
point.0 = 1, -7.5, 0, -4.14, 720, 0, 0.52, 60, 0.327, 1.5, 0.9, 13, 13, 0, 0, 0, 4

-------------------------------

I made a copy of the default, then made this edit - steers great again.

Actually now you mention it I disabled the TBM mod after update 4 which brought all the turboprop changes thinking it might conflict!  Thanks for very useful reply.

I flew x aviations tbm in xp11 yesterday and the difference is quite unbelievable, the feeling of flying x aviations tbm compared to fs2020 tbm even with the mod......well.....there is just no comparison whatsoever.

The cart that you can get at your local supermarket. Although I don't know what you call them in the USA. But in the UK and probably Europe, they are known as a shopping trolley.

Nice explanation.

I would have characterized it as " A vehicle for transporting groceries that has a mind of its own!!" 😉 Te He.

Haha it’s what we use at the supermarket doing the “big shop” - probably a UK thing 👍

Sadly, for some folks in the US, it carries everything they own.

The Daher model mod on flightsim.io fixes this.

True, but then you'd lose all of the great turboprop/TBM adjustments from the last Asobo update.

Is there a setting to modify those carts? In my local store the freewheeling casters are getting annoying. Totally unrealistic…
