Rolling Resistance

[artforsha]

A possible bug? I noticed that aircraft absolutely stop when coming in contact with grass. I don't know about the mains, but when the nose gear gets into grass, even afterburner will not move the plane. I was using the M2000 at the time. I haven't tested it in any other aircraft yet.

I can confirm that, same problem for me.

which can be summed up as "stay off the grass"

Which can be summed up as:

"

There are different types of ground modeled, some of which you might get stuck in.

 

Different planes by different companies have different levels of sophistication in their modelling of gear-ground interaction.

 

As in real life, you should avoid going off the runway & taxiways

Yes, stay off the grass, like many said, because you will get stuck.

But if you insist... you were just rolling too slow! I did it in F-15C - keep your speed about 30-40 knots and you can roll anywhere you want. Be careful though as it's dangerous and unwise, keep your throttle checked and don't turn too fast :)
