There is quite a bit of info about single engine performances though. Nothing specific about taxiing with one engine I must admit, but there are a lot of other things that are omitted as well, for instance, take off performances with the wings off, that sort of things. Well, the advantage of simulation is that you can easily try these things. But once stopped, or sufficiently slowed down, I guarantee you that you won't go anywhere without pushing or towing it (in the conventional light twin, well in the glider too) Increase the throttle very slowly, and wait for the plane to start rolling. You won't spin around. If the eccentric thrust is weak enough that the nose gear can compensate for it, you should be able to taxi, but it will be an extremely slow taxi, and it will take a long time to get rolling. A flight sim that has reasonably good models is Xplane, which you may want to check out, I still haven't been told what's wrong with the MSFS model. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
