olderndirt 1 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Perhaps similar to the wheel/ski topic below. The amphib version with gear down. Throttle advancing and virtually no forward motion - are the wheels in this setup also designed to not roll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt 1 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Tried that - no luck. With both all the way back, the nose lifted off the ground with a noisy scuffing/squeaking sound. No wheel rotation though. Put it in the water, operated normally so back on a runway and "alles in ordnung". You tell me. Might mention your 'invisible' water rudders on both the amphib and float models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 873 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Invisible water rudders only extends in water. Either the parkingbrake was on or the startlocks where not properly disengaged. Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, got the 'startlocks' figured out now I'm taxiing IN THE WATER - "Show me the water rudders". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 873 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Water rudders are "Invisible" on the Twin Otter extended. In reallife the float /amphibian -300 does not have water rudders. Steering is done by assymetrical power. Since that doesn´t work well with FSX' poor water physics as well as the fact that not everbody have dual throttles, we added the "invisible" water rudders, which will help maneuvering on water.
