cfrag Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Here's a short feedback for the Taxi & Takeoff Tutorial: Show and tell us how to unfold the wings before we start moving. Taxiing with furled wings feels wrong...

cfrag Posted June 19 Author Posted June 19 Agreed. I simply would have preferred if the training Taxi Mission told us to unfold the wings before starting to taxi. It feels wrong otherwise although you can see other planes taxiing around withtheir wings folded. It’s a gut feeling kind of feedback.
71st_Mastiff Posted June 19 Posted June 19 the procedure is in the start up cold start training mission. "any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back", W Forbes.

The taxi starts with wings up, and although I have no issues with that I think that either the dulcet voice of Wags should have mentioned that, or told us (preferred) to lower the wings before starting to taxi. I do not think that a tutorial for taxiing should include taxiing with wings up. Controlling a taildragger is difficult enough as it is. And it's a personal preference - feedback. A problem for me, not a bug ] Edited June 20 by cfrag

By the way, loved your Berlin Angels. Flew that one for a few hours with some friends.
