I built this campaign in the first version of the game and then adapted it into the latest version. In the latest version I think the wind parameters have been turned on in the FMB. When I get back into the game I will test it.

The moth is as light as a feather and has no wheel brakes, so weather-cocking (the tendency to yaw into the wind that is so prevalent in tail-draggers) is more pronounced.

The best thing you can do is pull the stick back into your lap and once your engine is running, you can use short bursts of throttle with a lot of rudder to turn it around. Just remember to keep the stick back so that you get the required downforce on the tail.

It might be beneficial to relax back stick pressure during turns, so that the tail skid doesn't dig in and act as a brake, then pull back again once you are facing where you want to and you center rudder and chop throttle, but i haven't tested this extensively.

Hope it helps
