But the fact remains that planes will sit-an-spin on a grass runway at far less than 18mps..
Your own video shows a Spit spining at 10mps and there are other videos showing planes spinning at 5mps.
Which is a bug IMHO
In either case lets provide 1C with the info on this bug to take a look at it, if they fix it fine, if not we use the work around. No big deal
Why it's a bug? One Spitfire starts spin in crosswind in wich wind speed, with brakes off and tailwheel unlocked?
I don't know. You know? Please, provide us some data.
What I can see now in CloD is that planes have decent inertia and friction with ground when taking off and landing. And in taxiing in mild wind. I really don't know how a Spitfire handle each wind speed on ground. We have some real Spitfire pilot here?
I really don't know, so I cant say it's a bug.
In my humble opinion, some WWII aircraft like a Spitfire need to runs smoothly over grass surface, or will need much more power to taxiing, maneuver and take off. I believe that the Spitfire tail was made to spin with ease on ground, isn't?
