P-51 will not turn after new updates

Post by tonhill »

Tail wheel will not turn. I have done the following, but nothing helps.

re-installed 3 times.
Auto rudder is off.
yes control locks off.
tail wheel lock is off.
Latest update installed.

Really frustrating, has to be something in it's DNA. Please help!
Thanks!

Hello,

when reinstalling did you delete the update folder for the update to be correctly applied on the new install?

Just to confirm you have the P-51 and the Accu-sim pack for the P-51?

thanks

And per page 51 of the rather fine manual, the stick IS being kept pushed forward of the neutral position, yes?

As with most tailwheel aircraft, depending on loadout you may need to keep the stick forward and apply a burst of power to get the tailwheel to `break out`.

Yes, control column forward. It worked fine until I did the upates. I have tried just installing without the updates and there seems to be a root issue, because it is worse than it has ever been. The updates at least make it so it will load properly and not sit there and turn on and off automatically. I have tried just starting from the runway and not taxing and the plane is uncontrollable, like stupid uncontrollable. P40, P47, Spitfire, B17 all work fine.

I have also tried applying brakes to one side or the other to get the plane to turn. Nope, takes the whole airport to get a slight radius.
I even tried re-installing FSX and the acceleration pack, thinking something was missing. Nope, nothin!!!!

What hardware are you using and any software pushing the hardware such as FSUIPC?

Hello Flyby94,

I had a read though your other post, and it looked like you got things sorted. Please can you let us know exactly which A2A products you have installed in FSX and what if anything was changed prior to the new issue with steering?

It'll also be helpful if you can do this in your other topic, rather than tagging onto this one.

Thanks,
Nick
