Anyone flying this bird? Nice aeroplane but I have trouble taxiing. She races away and I am constantly braking and I mean braking hard (toe breaks). It's a fight all the way to the point of take off. I'm running CH throttle quad and have played around with the settings for both throttles and prop pitch but with no success. I've also tried running throttles etc directly through FSUIPC but the speed issue is still there. I even went to the extent of installing the Ground Handling Gauge into the panel and although that helps up to a point the taxi speed braking aspect is so severe it almost knocks the aircraft's nose to the ground. Is there a tweak I can make to the aircraft cfg? Any clues would be helpful.

Thanks Crocker

Closed the throttle on your stick, hit F1, then feather the props. Quite a number of turboprops in FS9 seem to have this problem. It takes a LOT of practice to get it right.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

crocker,

Just downloaded it, 67mb, More if you include the FS2004 Gauges. Please tell it has more than 1 livery? Shocked

If there's a way to pull the props back into 'beta' that should slow her down.

THIS IS NOT A PANAM CLIPPER

Thanks for your ideas. Believe me I've tried various options to resolve this problem, including the ones suggested by you guys. I think I'll have to find a tow truck to get me to the runway.... in one piece that is! As far as I know there is only the one livery, just different models.
