(Offtopic) We need some B52 technology on the 737 classic https://youtu.be/eoxY9p3PpKM?t=2m30s

In the real plane, the rudder and the nosewheel are linked - so you can´t separately steer them. You could with the tiller, but you are not allowed to touch that unless going very slow (<30 kts). The nosewheel deflects a maximum of 7 degrees with the rudder, so there is really no danger of you "flipping" off the runway. This behaviour is mimicked in X-Plane, as with higher groundspeeds the maximum deflection is washed out to 7 degrees, too. When you encounter crosswind, the rudder deflection and wheel deflection are in the same direction (usually away from the wind to avoid you weathervaning into it), so if you touchdown while "decrabbing" the sense is correct for both (rudder and wheel deflecting to downwind side).

I am the person who came up with this "idea". And I'm pretty sure I will not be getting "sacked" any time soon, but thanks for the suggestion. It's always amazing to find how some people think they know more about how something should be done than the actual developers of the product. There are many reasons for the path we chose. And I'm sure glad you were not part of the process. Despite thinking that you know "everything" there is about aircraft development for X-Plane, you are apparently blissfully unaware of the fact that Austin is still updating the engine model, more specifically the turboprop physics. We, on the other hand, are acutely aware of what is going on and will release our products at the exact right time based on all the factors involved, not just some uninformed customer's opinion. You have no clue what goes on behind the scenes with our development process, so stop posting garbage here as if you do There are some developers who have "rushed" their releases for XP11 just so they can say they did it. That's not how we operate, and nothing you say will change that. Go troll somewhere else.

No offence intended, its seems some devs were behind the eight ball with the release of XP11 and are playing catch up. Whether this is the fault of Laminar or the devs themselves it dosent matter now. This is a whole new era in flight sim and semi professional just does not cut it anymore. What ever you got away with in the past wont help you now and alot of old xplane devs are finding this out the hard way as now your customer base includes alot of P3D users who are used to a certain level of professionalism, which is found lacking with a lot of Xplane devs. Some have stepped up and taken their products to the next level while others are still trying to find the On button to their workstations. One of this sites biggest sellers should have been ready to roll in XP11 as soon as it came out of Beta but you are still trying to fix things for the XP10 version.. Really? and your next release will work in Xp11 but it wont really work.. Double really ? and then you will release V2 maybe in a couple of months. No no no !! Tell me you sacked this person who came up with this idea.

I sort of guessed some might get offended and fan boys would white knight themselves but i bet one thing my post would have definitely put a rocket up some butts and made some rethink about what they perceived as an intelligent idea. As for my people skills yeah maybe im blunt and straight to the point but thats me and i get paid quite well for making people rethink about whats achievable or a good idea,so im not changing anytime soon. You are right i dont know much about the development process of a sim aircraft all i know is about the consumer side of flight sim, actually 25 years of buying, installing and deleting products, so maybe you dont think a consumers point of view (even an arrogant,opinionated like mine) is valid well good on ya mate, you have just failed basic business 101.We all want a quality product at the end of the day and what ever time it takes now Que' sera sera,, so i will go back into my troll cave and fly someone elses products for awhile and let you get back to do what you guys do best. No hard feelings as all is fair in Love,War and Flight Sim Software development. Cheers Val .G
