Morton’s AH Hurricane Mk. I package

[Hooraw]

I ripped out the hurricane mk 1 file for Royal Air Force Vs Luftwaffe, as I was about to tear my hair. I recopied the Morton AH Hurricane 1 from the Balkans.zip and still get the same problem(s).
The problem is at Mission 1, starting, start engine, power on, the a/c starts turning left, and until tail is off ground won't correct.

Is the tail wheel screwing up? and how to fix it??

Also, same A/C, fuel control to lean out mixture, is a failure, shuts engine off, and A/C is a guzzler.




Anybody, Help

Hooraw,

I know that Shadow Wolf 07 can guide you with the tail wheel issue. As far as the fuel load, I checked it against historical specs. It's off ever so slightly, but we're talking only about an additional two gallons in each wing.

I can't say why the mixture feature won't work...unless you accidentally have the "auto-mixture" feature on in your simulator settings.

And, if there are missions where the fuel load is inadaquate...fuel "guzzling" can be attributed to setting the speed too high off of cruising speed between warping waypoints. I found that out with the Ju-88 missions.

Simply put...lower the speed, increase the range. If you let me know what missions are problematic, I can show you in this thread how to lower the speed, and/or hand-edit the mission to add drop tanks.

isn't there a way to lock the tail wheel?

Hi Blood_Hawk23,

unfortunately not, that's a FSX feature.

Hooraw,

if the problem of the aircraft veering left you describe is the combined result of engine torque effect with free moving tailwheel, here's what you can do to correct the partially the problem.

Torque can only be controlled through counter-rudder action and careful throttle increase. Problems with excessively free moving tailwheels, contributing to disastrous ground rolls, can be resolved by editing the aircraft.cfg and reducing the tailwheel swing angle in the [contact_point] section, very first record (which controls the tailwheel).

Normally it's set a 180 degs, reducing it to 90, 45 and even 30 degs, will stop all tailwheel control issues. Now, I don't remember exactly where the figure is located along the record, I know it's towards the end. If you read the description comments included in the record, it should be easy to locate.

For same reason, all AH's aircrafts for CFS2 seem to have this problem. I had it with their Bf109E, their Spitfire MkIA, even with their ex-donationware F4U Corsair.
You also need to keep in mind that several comments written here over the years indicated that this tweak will in turn affect negatively AI behaviour during T.O. and landings, as all stock aircrafts have their tailwheel swing angle set at 180 degs. But, if you ask me why stockers feature a flawless behaviour on the ground, I have no answer to it. It's part of MS' bag of mysteries still to be unveiled.

If you experience troubles with your AI's, try experimenting with the swing angle figure until you reach a satisfactory compromise.

Cheers!

Definitely sounds like engine torque effect to me.
Look at it this way, unless you've got 'em at least you don't have to apply "Full-boot" to the rudder pedal whilst juggling throttle etc. and watch out for your squadron mates until your tail lifts during a 'scramble'.
