I can't even taxi this thing to the runway... :banghead:

Is there a cfg edit I can make so the tailwheel turns with the rudder, "easy" steering? I don't have two throttles and the differential braking just isn't working.


EDIT: I guess I found the commented out line in the CFG. Should've looked there before posting... :redface:

She works like a charm now! Looks and flies very nicely as well!

EDIT 2: Just finished my first flight with her and I gotta say she doesn't disappoint. This is definitely one of the best "budget friendly" addons for FSX!

Good to hear, so, did you try the RXP GNS430 yet?
R.
 
At the risk of overbumping this:kilroy:

To remind you of other features:

The Uiver has full system simulations.
The engines can be abused, and in that case will fail or catch fire.
You can do a full, by the book, cold and dark start-up, with working external power supply, fuelpumps, priming, flooding carburetors, etc. Forget one step, and you must try again. (or use ctrl-e, if you're lazy)
Props can be fully feathered, and you can see the prop governers move. Air start of the enigines is possible too.
Fuel system is completely modelled
Switching tanks is tricky, don't forget to flick on your fuel pumps, or the engines will stall due to lack of fuel pressure. Don't forget to flick off your fuel pumps in time, or the coils will overheat, and they stop working.
We have a working manual hydraulics system, with manual pump, in case your hydraulic pumps fail.
You can do wheels up landing. The props will bend, but the plane will not crash. (as with the real plane, that's why the wheels stick out a bit)
At night, you can see if you're flying rich or lean, by the color of the exhaust flames.
It all comes with 3 external models, plenty free repaints, 3 VC's (1 with modern avionics, 2 completely steam gauges, all fluidly animated and all gauges modelled in 3D) and a fully modelled interior, including loo ,and virtually anything that can be clicked , switched or moved in the real plane is animated and functional in our model.

You can download the manual from our site for free, on www.dc2-fs.com, and see what we have to offer.
You will not be dissapointed

New customers, you will all help the Aviodrome Museum, in keeping the Douglas DC2 in flying condition, for you to enjoy in the (European) airshow circuit in the New Year, 2011!

Cheers, Rob
