0.97 - A-10 Nosewheel wheel off-centre
Just a little thing, was watching a demo of myself on test airfield (and also on Kashan) doing some gun runs in an a-10 and i noticed that the centre of thewheel itself isn't aligned with the pivot point, so it looks like the front wheel is a cam and wobbling around in a weird manner.

I'd also like to add that it turns automatically to one side during takeoff and landing. As soon as you go above a certain speed it's gone. Can't remember whether it turns to the right or to the left, but I'm sure someone else knows that.

I noticed this a bit too but i wasn't sure if it was an issue with my joystick, glad to know it's not just me! slight veer to the left for me.saXoni wrote:I'd also like to add that it turns automatically to one side during takeoff and landing.

landing gear is supposed to be off center, that 30mm Gatling gun is massive, its about the size of a VW beetle
just look at it in this photo (warning really large picture)

I didn't mean the actual nosegear itself, i mean the wheel that is attached to it is! I'll get some pics later, job hunting is bloody depressing...
