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

capt vertigo · #1 09-05-2011, 04:13 PM

Seems like this was discussed awhile back, but..

When I jump online, and I am sitting in plane, usually spitfire, the plane slowly spins in a circle before I even start engine...

Then once engine is up and running, I often times cannot taxi onto the runway, etc..

Anybody else have this issue..?

Try using the brakes mate...

yeap is a bug
use brakes as Ze-Jamz suggested
i think it will be fixed with the upcoming patch

Happens to me too. I think there's a crafty rigger behind the tailplane moving it slowly anti-clockwise.

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.

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
