Does anyone know if this is possible, anybody at all.

I’m gonna ask one more time, never really hurts, I got a custom tail wheel that is connected to a hinge rotator, it’s set on floppy so I can taxi, problem is, I don’t know how to lock it when it’s floppy, I’m only making this forum to get a quick answer because I’ve been working on this aircraft nearly all night and I want to go to sleep, hopefully.

So if anyone knows how to make some sort of lock so the hinge rotator that is, again, connected to the tail wheel, which is set to floppy, won’t immediately turn left or right, with I don’t know, a activation maybe? Let me know in the comments, hope I worded this out properly.

If it’s impossible that’s fine, I have a back up plan for such a situation, so just give me the funky trees in the comments, got it?

    Hmm, you can place tail wheel on another, second rotator and set it's input to -rate(Angle).
    Where :
    Angle - a variable output name that you can set on the first rotator (yes, the output is called current angle).
    That will lock the wheel in it's current position, also use activation group for that.


    If you need wheel to be locked in neutral position then use -(Angle).


    Don't forget to set equal range on the rotators, and probably speed parameter on the second one should be high enough.
    That's all i guess.

    Yes and they don’t work, or at least in a way that I know of, keep in mind the hinge rotator is set on floppy because it looks more realistic when it turns. @IceCraftGaming

    I think you could probably use magnets

    Have you tried still applying activation groups?
