Ground steering issue

[aeromed202]

I revisited the Samdim TU124 by Dimitri Samborski, and noticed it will not steer while on the ground. The cfg gives the nse wheel a 35 degree value but it will not turn at all. Is this a model issue? The SCS TU-134A has the same problem. I greatly reduced the yaw moment in case that was in error but nothing changed. Any ideas?

Nose wheel steering is hydraulic, so you must've missed a switch somewhere to energize the system.

If you used a different panel (like I did) you would not have this 'problem'. If you use their panel then there is this: 'gauge09=Tu-124!steer_sw, 169,154,14,42' (in (window05) which is 'Left' ). Ah, those Russians!

Thanks so much. This red bird now sports a cockpit from the US of A but at least it works. I tried several 134 panels but all of them seem to have been cut from the same cloth so all had the same quirk. I tried just // out the gauge but that didn't do anything either. Never did find the panel switch to throw.
