My default DC9 won't steer. The tail-wheel lock lever is in the off position but it still won't steer. Can anyone tell me why? I've tried other rear wheel steering aircraft & they all work.
Thanks.

Did you mean DC-3? It should have a fully castoring tailwheel with differential brakes for ground steering like the real aircraft. You can also use engine power to help initiate a turn.

Hi Gypsymoth,

Open your DC3 aircraft.cfg file (notepad will do) and find the “contact points” section.

Make a copy of it first in case you mess up !

The first line should read

point.0=1, -56.00, 0.0, -2.3, 1200.0, 0, 0.60, 180.0, 0.200, 2.5, 0.695, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0

Alter the 8th set of figures [ 180.0 ] to 60.0 and save the change.

Fire up FS2004 and you should have a DC3 with a steerable tailwheel.

Regards ...Stuart Cheesy

Hi Stewpot,

Is there a way to add a simple autopilot too (even just for altitude hold?)

I used to know how to do it - but have forgotten Sad

Yes - I put an AP into my Auster for just that purpose. I'll have to get back to you tho' as I'm at my Mac right now. When I have the FS machine fired up I'll add my 'how to' unless some-one else does Cool

Here's how I put an AP into my Auster:

In the panel cfg I added it as Window03
[Window Titles]
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=Radio Stack
Window02=GPS
Window03=Autopilot
Window04=Cpit Cmdr (a useful Glenn Copeland gauge)

[Window03]
file=Ap window.BMP
size_mm=300,54
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=4
visible=0
ident=1002

gauge00=Lear_45!Autopilot, 2,2

You can also add it to the actual panel like this:
gauge43=Lear_45!Autopilot, 9,707,200,55
You can edit these numbers to move it around until you find the place you want it at in other panels.

so my Auster has 2 to choose from Cool

Cool

Hope this helps?

Stewpot's steerable tailwheel edit will work but the default DC-3 already has differential brakes. To use them for ground steering simply apply brakes with rudder.

Differential braking works fine with a joystick with twist-grip rudder control.

As Hagar has said you can steer this bird with differential braking, which I do with the aircraft that the .cfg fix doesn't work for.
I use a simple joystick and use F10 and F11 for differential braking.

If it doesn't already appear in the list, I add this line under the: [Brakes] entry in the aircraft.cfg.....

[brakes]
parking_brake = 1 //Parking brake available
toe_brakes_scale = 1.0 //Brake scalar
differential_braking_scale = 1.0 // rudder activated differential brakes

Applies the brakes differentially, when using the Twist Joystick to control the Rudder, together with quick bursts of power from the engine(s).

Meh... a little practice, especially with differential thrust (even when using only one throttle device and key commands to switch engines), and it's not that hard to taxi even the Tri-Motor.
It's not easy, mind you, but it just takes a little practice.
a steerable tailwheel on a DC-3... sacrilege!! Angry

The answer is to invest in a new joystick with twist-grip rudder. Wink
