P-51 (Military) Tail-lock support

Post by Demondefiant »

I can't seem to get this plane to taxi, I've checked the flight manual, accu-sim flight, manual and the forums. But that 3rd wheel is always locked. I've honestly given up on it.

Is your control lock on? Normally, with the stick back or centered you get 6 degrees of tailwheel travel each way. With the stick forward (careful) the tail wheel becomes free to castor. I just tried using the control lock at the bottom of the stick (which I never use) and found that when engaged it does indeed prevent the tailwheel from turning.
