So, since it works in some planes and not in others, i guess it actually reflects the lack of a lockable tailwheel in the real aircraft.

I have no problem with this, in fact it's one of the things that i like very much about the new sim: controls are not generic anymore, but individual to each plane according to how it was in real life.

It just needs a bit better documentation to know which control works or is needed with which aircraft. For example, i totally missed the manual bomb bay door crank in the Ju88 and i wondered why they didn't open. After mapping separate controls to open and close them and keeping them pressed, the bomb bay doors work fine.

In any case, it's useful and rewarding taking the more complex aircraft for a free flight to familiarize with the controls and cockpit layouts before going into combat with them. Sure, it can be frustrating at times but on the other hand i discover something new each day.
