What I want to see is an ntrk where someone is actually able to taxi using one engine of a twin engine plane. Then a complete explanation on how it was accomplished would really be nice. I am not saying it can't be done but I have been playing for 8 years and all I can do is spin in circles on the ground when I have one engine that is working.

Could it be done IRL?

it would depend on the aircraft, if it had a steerable nosewheel then yes, otherwise i would imagine its very difficult. The p-38 had a free castoring nose wheel so one engine taxiing would be tricky but you could do a turn using diff braking I bet. likewise with tail draggers it depends if the tail wheel locks, IRL for example the mosquito does not have a locking tailwheel (unlike il2). so you have to stand on the brakes and run up some boost before takeoff to get some steering authority.

check out http://p38whitelightnin.com/story/La...ew/index3.html for a p-38 taxiing anecdote. on a side note this forum is frustrating to navigate on a smartphone, is there an app (android)?
