AG-51_Razor Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I don't think that the Mi-8 has a locking pin for the nose gear, at least I don't believe that it is modeled in this sim if there is one. Most nose gears, and even tail wheels, have a spring mechanism which will cause the wheel to self center once weight has been taken off of it. It could be that this is also not modeled in the sim. In my experience with tail wheel helicopters, S-58T and S-61, both have locking pins controlled by a T handle in the cockpit. The S-64 has a nose wheel and there is also a T handle in the cockpit for locking the nose wheel. It could be that this minor detail was left out. :book: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaOneSix Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 There is no locking pin for the nose gear but it is self-centering. So when the aircraft is off the ground the nose gear should be centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 It is centered in flight and thus correctly modelled I'd think. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
