Alternate nose wheel steering

[Jens W.]

Hi,

does the 737-300 not provide an alternate nose wheel steering? I could not not find the switch to activate the alternate system

Hello

It normally should be placed here.

 

So I assume its not modeled or maybe it is a company specific option ?

Yep @Litjan ?

It is optional, and we don´t model it.

Thanks Jan! How does the nose wheel steering work with loss of Hydraulic System A and without this switch? I tried it with the IXEG and steering with the tiller does not work only with the rudder pedals. Is this the way how it works?

In the real aircraft there is no nosewheel steering at all without A hydraulics. I think the rudderpedals still working is a X-Plane limitation we did not code around. The rudder pedals still work the rudder, which will also steer, dependent on airspeed.

You can still taxi without the nosewheel steering, just use differential braking - but it´s a PITA and I would not do it in real life, well maybe to vacate the runway on a high-speed turnoff.
