smokey43 Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Hello all, I had an instance where the Plane would not taxi, kinda just go in circles as if there was an issue with the Nose Wheel. I contributed it to the Airport Designer as the Parking lot looked like Gravel. I restarted to an are that look like pavement and all was well. I did use Pushback when it was on the gravel looking surface.. fast forward to last night, and a similar thing happened once again after using Push Back. Has anyone else experienced any issues, upon using PushBack? Yes, the Checklist was followed and Nose wheel was set to armed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchimi Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 My suggestion: two things to check: hydraulics on - and the nose wheel on the 650 has a max angle of 55 degrees. It's free wheeling after 55 degrees even if steering is armed so you need to reset it. So your pushback should always end with a straight line to make sure the front wheel is centered. Other than that (and I had that happen) I had my steering tiller mapped in x-plane to two different axes and nothing worked right until I fixed my mapping and I too was going around in circles. I don't know what happens if you try to taxi the plane on anything but tarmac so it's possible that hot start modelled mud ruts and snowrunner-esque behaviors with the 650 - I wouldn't put anything past them at this point lol.
