I for one am in total agreement.  However, ground loops are not my biggest concern.  The biggest problem in this SIMULATOR is that the spawn to the runway is totally FUBAR.  Any SIMULATOR programmer who knows what he's doing should know that any time this type of instantaneous transportation occurs, a shimmer and sound effect are necessary.  For heaven's sake... they even show you how to accomplish this here:  Beam me down HTC

Please Skuzzy, don't rule this a hijack (even though it is)  as it's blatantly obvious that something is missing from the spawn logic in this SIMULATOR and it really, really needs looked at.

Oh... and for our ground loop aficionado, an official quote on the subject... Simulator vs Game



You can if you want. Spawn in the hanger and taxi till your 'lil heart's content.
Ht has said this is as much a game as anything.
A game needs to be fun and not hampered down with the minutia of a hard core simulation.

I suppose you want to do a walk around , preflight checklist , warm up , taxi, and wait for clearance also ehh?

Wish all these people would quit whining and play the damn game.

:furious :furious

Obviously you didn't check out the way cool l33t "Beam me down" video link thingy that I'm requesting to be implemented.  Customizable spawn sounds... that's the ticket!! :aok

You know I have been in the aviation business for roughly 25 years
both military and civil.  I have seen tail draggers from Citabrias up to DC-3s
even B-17s takeoff and land and have never witnessed a groundloop.

     I'm sure they happen, but they don't seem to be all that common.  The
field I work at, Morristown Municipal, has a huge variety of traffic and pilot
skill levels including students.

I guessing Benny would say " Your neck of the real world is modeled incorrectly . You should post on Cods bbs and asked to have it fixed  immediately.".


But thats just a guess .

Agreed!  :furious   Rino, please refrain from bringing REAL-LIFE experience into this discussion.  I'm sure there is a nice table in an aviation nerds bible somewhere quoting the coefficient of tail wheel rotation and drag versus the slip stream effect and the time space continuum which will clearly prove everything Benny has stated is incorrectly modeled in this SIMULATOR.
