SU-27 taxi behavior

[mpdugas]

Refreshing myself on various airframes, I see that the SU-25T taxis as expected, responding to rudder input for turns along with expected external views of rudders moving in the right direction for ground turns.

 

The training mission for taxi and takeoff for the SU-27 is identical, the same exercises, except that the SU-27 does not turn with rudders, even though animation in F2 view shows rudders working correctly, as do pedal animations in cockpit. The airplane just moves straight ahead. I can brake one tire with Lctrl and A, but that is all the Sukhoi responds to.

 

In every way, the control setups are the same between the two airplanes, the control options setup recognize the proper axis actuation, i.e. it shows rudder pedals controlling the rudder with axis Z.

 

The SU-25T turns as expected, the SU-27 just plows straight into the grass.

 

This same behavior is found in DCSW version 1.5 and 2.5.

 

Setup problem or bug?

Turn on nose wheel steering.

As they said, it is just the nosewheel steering button. Just remember to bind it on the Su33 as well.

Many thanks for the direct answers; I'll try to find it in the setup dialogs and bind away.

 

Funny the SU-27 tutorial doesn't mention it. It (the tutorial) calls for keys to emulate the rudder turning, which don't work either; is it a recent addition?

Not too recent but definitely post-tutorial...
