Has anyone tried to taxi onto the runway after landing. The plane refused to go that direction. I keep hearing about realism. Well, even I know you can taxi an airplane.
If this is a "gameplay" thing, fine. make it a crash if you miss the runway. That would make more sense.
Also, I dont care about ranking in beta. But I will when we go gold. I have a higher score than the guy above me in every catagory listed. Is there some other factor considered into the score.

Hmm, taxiing goes fine in almost every possible condition. Didn't try hills up yet but as long as the tailwheel is on the ground the rudder will move that thing around - and I should now, my B-17 landings in AH don't resemble any coordinated flight conditions (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

And we have differential braking with keys "X" and "C" I beleave. Combined with rudder this allows a fair degree of control on the ground.
You can't pivot on a dime, but I don't think your supposed to.

I spent 10 min going at it from every angle. One try I was no more that a dozen ft at a 90 degree angle and the plane turned itself when all i tried to do was hold it in a stright line for a couple of ft. Its either a feature or a bug.

Couple of possibilities here, TT. 1) Your gear was up (yeah, pretty obvious but I had to say it), 2) your gear was damaged in some fashion (like tail-wheel damaged), or 3) your wheels got caught in some discontinuity in the terrain. In WB, there are spots in the NG terrain, for instance that resemble a curb or step; you can't see it from inside your A/C, but its there. I've not had any trouble taxiing to and fro, even over minor hills and such. Try it off line and see what happens.

Hello All and HTC,
It is possible to go uphill.
Over the weekend, I was tooling around off-line and landed a Spit at the "bottom" of F1. Just for grins, I decided to drive (drive as opposed to hop, fly or other aeronautical means) up the hill and did just that.
The only feature I didn't like was that the Spit did not roll backwards when I stopped momnentarily.
As for TT, weren't you one who was having severe problems with joysticks?
Sounds like a stick setting problem or,
like Rojo said, damaged main or tail wheel.
