TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
We can now begin our taxi to Runway 24 – follow the short red path
indicated on the image below.
While taxiing, use the rudder to steer. Unfortunately P3D limitations
prevent us from realistically simulating the way the nosewheel steering
tiller operates separately from the rudder. Both are linked in the sim at all
times.
Use a small amount of thrust to taxi – the airplane should move
reasonably well under idle thrust. The surface coefficient of friction in P3D
is unfortunately higher than it is in real life and this causes the plane to
slow at idle. We did everything we could to mitigate this and in most
cases idle will work fine, but on some longer taxi routes, you may need to
periodically give it some thrust to maintain speed.
Watch for the joystick throttle’s lower end not returning to full idle during
taxi – press F1 on your keyboard (or better yet bind a button on the
throttle to F1 in the P3D settings) to correct an idle thrust setting that’s too
high due to this issue.
