Title: C-130 Nose Steering
Post by w_pienaar on Mar 14^th, 2013 at 10:29pm

I have another question, how do you steer the aircraft whilst ground manoeuvring. The SimShed version of the C-130 allows you to steer with the aid of a small wheel situated next to the pilot.

Thank you.

Grab the top of the tiller wheel and move right or left.
I'm a noobie on this but getting better. Have a question of my own though. When steering with the tiller the nose wheel angle shows. But after a while (I've looked away) the wheel won't return to 0 degrees. It will go to +4 or -2 or something like that, but not 0. Anyone have an idea?
Also I can't seem to find a tech support link where I can ask this directly of the "factory".

BTW, just moved to Arkansas from Calif. I now have C-130s overflying my house day and night. Finally stopped running outside to look.�

I've got a Logitech Extreme3DPro - the joystick twists to give yaw control. This also works the nosewheel steering on the ground.

Same for me, but I have used the mouse on the tiller for turning the C-130. It much easier with the joystick "twist grip" though. ;)
