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

That is why this bug seems so odd.. In that it kind of acts like wind.. but it kind of doesn't either..

I mean sure in high winds I would expect the spit to move..

If the tires are aired up to max and it was sitting on a slick cement runway..

But in a grass field?

Something just does not feel right about that

Decide yourself: you are a science man or a "seems to be" man?

I really don't know in wich airspeed and angle one WWII Spitfire will start to spin, and in all the other variables, like terrain, etc.

But the rough behavior of wind is OK. And a Spitfire isn't a 747: it's not that heavy.

AGAIN people here will start some flame war about nothing: people believed that aircraft spin for nothing... Some said that is because of wind acting... Some believe that wind don't look ok, because can't taxi... I post a video when I can taxi... And here we go... "In that it kind of acts like wind.. but it kind of doesn't either"...

Funny as hell!

That is your opinion and your welcome to it!

Sorry if it upsets you that I dont agree with it

I'm ok with the fact that you don't agree with logical arguments and videos. I'm used to it. Not upseted at all.

I'm glad that now you can turn your plane in CloD in a full 360º turn in strong wind conditions. Maybe now you can takeoff upwind too!

I'm happy to help! Now you can focus in all flaws of 46 and CloD FMs.

If saying that makes you feel better.. more power to you!

there are but do they work? If the sock is pointing to the grass and my Spit starts friggin turning it aint the damned wind for sure ............

Hmmm....just tried this again in the cross country mission.
The spit didn't move before engine start, but as soon as the prop started spinning the plane started rotating as well, brakes seem to work in stopping the rotation.
So maybe it's a torque effect?

Hey Ned

No it is not the torque.. because the Spit will sit and spin with the engine off.. Not on all maps.. but some.

Yes... It works...

One point that I really don't understand is why people don't go to FMB and just test things...

I'm saying since a long time ago that this sim engine is really cool... But people now are asking if windsocks works in CloD? Yes, at least the windsock strong works ok, animated, pointing the direction and strenght of winds... But it's a Windsock STRONG (really strong in CloD, ACE maybe can tweak the "WM" of this object someday), so, it will always "pointing to the grass" if you aren't in the middle of a hurricane... http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=23586

And for the other guy, I posted a video showing tha plane turning until face the wind... Really, I don't know what people want sometimes...

Strange!
