same for pulling some gas into deflected rudder, I felt almost no effect...
most of the taildraggers I have flown are difficult to steer on just rudder deflection alone .....particularily on grass surfaces, the tiger moth has the advantage of having a skid (this digs in to the ground and gives better traction), but tailwheels tend to need a dab of brake to get them steering.


I wouldn't say propwash is not modelled because of other effects that do occur in the game, but there is something odd about the aircrafts behaviour when static on the ground....they seem to drift sideways unless you put on the brakes, almost like the pull of the prop is 90 degrees out.
