Have you tried to use the tailwheel lock in the VC? (the T-handle behind the throttle) Does she turn with differential braking?
BTW, never ever heard of using the compass as a turn coordinator IRL....

Well, you haven't flown old taildraggers much then, I suppose. Using a whiskey compass as a turn coordinator has a long and distinguished history IRL.
Don't understand what that has to do with the plane being a taildragger? But you are right, I 've got only a few taildragger hours.
Because older taildraggers, like my Chief, usually have fewer instruments and so using the compass as a turn indicator is much more common when flying such planes. It's not about being a taildragger per se, but about being old, which usually means taildragger.
In many old taildraggers around here you'll also often find the kind of bank angle indicator often found on sailboats mounted on the panel. If you have the A2A Cub, then the compass is actually a very good turn coordinator indicator.

I always preferred (and still prefer) taildraggers IRL. These are the planes with the most character and personality. I loved flying the Super Cub, the Jodel and the Wilga.
Once you get to know a plane you don't need a turn coordinator or compass anyway as you learn rather quickly how much rudder you need and when.
bingo
it works both with Shift+G than with T-handle in the VC (T-handle down = tailwheel lock)
my mistake was trying with the aircraft stationary and not moving
the reference to A2A Cub is correct
have you tried to use the great lever near the wing flap handle ? (maybe hopper dump handle)
still a nice plane
Yep, it's free castoring.
Here's one rather exciting spraying run, filmed from start to finish, watching it in HD fullscreen is fun. It's from AT-401 cockpit, very nice angle:

That depends.....IRL it's the 'hybrid' version. The steering is connected to the rudder 24deg L/R. But if you apply differential braking while turning, the tailwheel unlocks and swivels freely.
In FSX i've set it to the 24deg as differential braking does have an effect even without the 'free' tailwheel.

twice that I emailed them it took a few days to a week to get a reply...they are very busy modelers and I think take turns responding to 'contacts'
they were courteous and apologetic in replies and both times gave me solid information - but they have less emphasis on the ol' inbox than some other devs' for sure
It will probably emerge in Simmarket at some point, at least Alabeo's previous offerings did.
The aural stall warning comes on before the actual stall. So it's not sudden, there is a warning and at the stall there's a clean break followed by a moderate pitch down.
But especiall with the dispersal equipment drag is very high, so the speed reduction might be faster and hence the stall comes up faster than what you are used to.
@ bushpilot. Alabeo/Carenado don't have any visual pre stall buffeting built into their planes.
