Landing the F4U?

Just two questions..

If the engine is off, what is making the nose swing violently to the right?

And if planes had rudder pedals, where are the left and right brakes on a real f4u?


The whole secret to landing any hog safely is the rear wheel... Get it on the ground, THEN apply your brake.  If you brake early, she'll give you a little reminder and then you'll have to use individual wheel brakes and still probably break a wing.  Turning the engine off does help, but the rear wheel is the "key."

Seems the F4u veers left on the pizza map. Why left - hell i dunno- I guess pizza is in the southern hemisphere. What a crock. The ground loops are goofy and exagerated. Gota remeber - f4u goes right Baltic - left pizza - I LOVE the realism (cough).
