Maneuvering On The Ground With Differential Braking

[JupiterJoe]

I spawned into a training mission, I asked the ground crew to repair, 170 secs popped up (if it was fixed like the Patch notes say, that wouldn't happen).  Taxiing is just the same as it was, broken.  Please give it a try yourself and let us know.

I'm pretty sure that patch note refers strictly to the plane being slammed hard onto the ground upon spawn in previous DCS version. THAT doesn't happen now. I didn't notice it caused damage anyway (in single player at least), but if it's been fixed then good for us. 

This thread, however, is about taxiing, which is separate issue altogether and hasn't been addressed in the patch it seems (judging from my couple of short flights).

Despite what today's Patch notes say, I am finding the landing gear is still damaged upon spawn.  Anybody else?

You can also try out the miz I posted, Engine Diagnostics.  It also shows the aircraft health percentage, so if you spawn in and it’s not 100%, then something is damaged.  The problem with this, and also calling for repairs, is that we don’t know what’s broken.  It might not even be the landing gear if a repair is needed or the script shows less than 100% health.

Same here. Still excessive weathervaning on the ground with stronger winds. The "Nevada Cold Start" Mission is perfect to replicate the issue. I really hope that this gets some attention.

After installing this latest update, I have found absolutely no change whatsoever with the Corsair's behavior on the ground. Tailwheel still does not swivel and the plane is unable to make a 90 degree turn to the right with 10 kts of wind from the left. I was using enough power to lift the tailwheel off the ground with the stick back against the stop and still unable to make it turn right! What a shame!!

As you may or may not recall, Rudel stated the devs were addressing engine management issues. Then they would look into the diff braking issue.

Right now the programmers are focused on the water injection and engine damage model.

They'll look into it afterwards

Aside from the damage model verification, the Corsair remains grounded.

What are you babbling about?  The plane remains damaged at spawn in, end of story.  Ask the ground crew to repair.  If 170 secs pops up it's busted, plain and simple.  The landing gear remains broken, therefore what's stated in the patch notes is blatantly incorrect.  This thread is about taxiing and the problem with taxiing remains.  We have to be united in our conclusions people.

What’s the problem with creating a bug report thread for that?  Otherwise it will just get lost in this thread.
