Why does my spit spin around before engine start..?

capt vertigo · #1 09-05-2011, 04:13 PM

Seems like this was discussed awhile back, but..

When I jump online, and I am sitting in plane, usually spitfire, the plane slowly spins in a circle before I even start engine...

Then once engine is up and running, I often times cannot taxi onto the runway, etc..

Anybody else have this issue..?

Try using the brakes mate...

yeap is a bug
use brakes as Ze-Jamz suggested
i think it will be fixed with the upcoming patch

Happens to me too. I think there's a crafty rigger behind the tailplane moving it slowly anti-clockwise.

For some reason brakes don't seem to help with the spit, however they work fine with 109.

Maybe something's off with control settings..

I know my brakes are individually assigned as control axis in setup..

Hmmmmm

Thanks gents.

Bf109 had differential brakes.

Spit not. Anyway it should work if that rotation is the plane facing to wind.

And no, it's not a bug.

Yeah, I don't think it's wind.

Seems like even with engine running and brakes applied, I still can't steer the plane back into the turn.. Often times I just gun the throttle and take off in whatever direction I am facing, and hope for the best...

True, that's the typical behaviour of a taildragger plane; it faces to the wind. I fly a CAP10 in reality and behaves like that, I can assure it!

You csan see what happens by wind here:

At 5:30 I receive a windgust from the left and plane goes in that way. It's not torque, I had already pushed right rudder, so I had to push more.
