(SOLVED) Nose Wheel Steering/Drifting Issue:

28.7k TheFlightGuySP  3.3 years ago

I finished working on an upcoming regional turboprop, and discovered an issue with the nose wheel traction.

Whenever a turn is initiated, the aircraft is slower to react compared to other aircraft, and the aircraft requires a larger turn radius. Whenever you attempt to exit a turn, the nose wheel continues to drift sideways for a few seconds, and requires full opposite-direction yaw input to counteract the drifting.

Is there a solution to this issue?

Note: I am using default landing gear and not custom landing gear/resizable wheels.

    @asteroidbook345 Would moving the nose wheel backward also work?
