• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I was right about the security measures. I've corrected the contact points section again and I also added a line in the brakes section that allows differential braking. It may have not been needed since you have pedals, but it's mandatory if you just have a twisty joystick.

The original is renamed, so you can just drop in the revised version. In the future, you may be able to make edits stick by pulling the file to your desktop, making the edits, then moving it back.

Will it allow nose wheel steering.
 
Yes. The various numbers after the point.x = control different parameters for that point. The 8th one is the steering angle. setting that angle to 180° is actually a flag that tells the Sim to make that one a castor. Replacing that line with the line that specifies a 40° steering angle enables positive steering control. By the way, that's 40° each way from center, for a total swing of 80°.
 
I use it in 7... not a problem at all.

You said you have pedals... when moving slowly, try applying the brake on just one... you'll turn easily.
