4.12.2 de-bugging

[Aviar]

Was it possoble to lock the tailwheel from the cockpit in the real-life Hurricane? The reason I'm asking is because the command does not work for any Hurricane model in 4.12.1.

The question is : How is it possible to keep the plane safe with the tailwheel unlocked?

Takeoff: increase throttle gradually, counterwork with the rudder, and never use the breaks. I start rolling with 50% throttle, and once the tail is lifted, I give max power.

Landing: break only when the rudder is in neutral position.

BTW, has anyone tested systematically which planes lost their tailwheel lock capability with 4.12.1? And is it a bug or a feature?
