You have a key assigned for the brake and you are using the rudder?

Yes I have everything mapped correctly....no problem with most planes...can barely manouver a spit on the ground.

I can spin a 109 around nicely with my toe brakes...


spit.... just wont turn... full rudder...goose the engine...doesnt matter...its a chore to line up on a runway...

or taxi? forget it

I find it turns best if you give it a small burst of speed then hit the rudder and brake but I have noticed some of our guys have more trouble than others. There must be a knack in it but I have also found it harder on some fields than on others. Maybe something to do with the way the ground is modelled?

It's odd. I've read that the 109 was very tail heavy on the ground and needed a bunch of power to get rolling. I had always assumed this would affect taxi turns as well. In contrast, the Spit is supposed to be so nose heavy that any inattention will break its prop. I know it is not much of an argument, but I would expect the Spit to turn without effort.

I don't believe the Spit has toe-brakes. As I recall you have to apply the brakes via the brake lever and then use the rudder controls to turn.

Hope this helps.
