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

[capt vertigo]

For some reason brakes don't seem to help with the spit, however they work fine with 109.

Maybe something's off with control settings..

I know my brakes are individually assigned as control axis in setup..

Hmmmmm

Thanks gents.

Bf109 had differential brakes.

Spit not. Anyway it should work if that rotation is the plane facing to wind.

And no, it's not a bug.

Yeah, I don't think it's wind.

Seems like even with engine running and brakes applied, I still can't steer the plane back into the turn.. Often times I just gun the throttle and take off in whatever direction I am facing, and hope for the best...

True, that's the typical behaviour of a taildragger plane; it faces to the wind. I fly a CAP10 in reality and behaves like that, I can assure it!

You csan see what happens by wind here:

At 5:30 I receive a windgust from the left and plane goes in that way. It's not torque, I had already pushed right rudder, so I had to push more.

Yes but you are close to takeoff speed, not stationary on the ground. You'd need storm force winds to do that to a stationary spitfire.

Probably there might be strong winds.

Some time ago I tested it with a 108 km/h wind and there's the effect into CoD:

2:35, there it is.

I would be ok ok ok dude shut up. Help me out here my hand is hot. I got a 6 pack in the cooler behind my seat. Make yourself useful.

Short pathetic video i made now:



10 m/s wind. All Ok here with winds. I'll test if some bug accurs that makes plane spins + 360º.

Your not crazy Mike

I have the exact same problem you have.. My breaks dont stop it either.. One time I did see it stop spinning.. but I think it had something to do with the lay of the land.. Hard to tell, but it looked like the tail got into a low spot and 'the wind' (?) was just not strong enought to push it anymore.. That or the plane was 'in line' with the wind?

But.. if 'the wind' is the cause.. than we are saying 'the wind' is strong enough to move the plane.. if that is true.. than my rudder should be able to 'counter/affect/adj' that movment once the wind gets near inline with the plane.. but that does not seem to be the case.. which is why I dont think it is the wind doing it

Spits do have differential brakes.

If you apply brakes via axis you can release brake on one wheel using rudder.
