Hi Guys,

I'm learning how to fly the DGIII, beginning with some simple touch and go's on runway 33.  In the The Tranworld Express
Company scenario there are two DGIII sitting on the runway.  In order to get set for takeoff you need to make a sharp turn to
the right, but I can't figure out how to do that.  Using the stock DG I used the individual wheel brakes to turn me around,
though not very well.  But that doesn't seem to work on DGIII.  Any other ideas?  Do I need to increase the thrust for a
single engine to do that?  I'm using a CH Virtual Pilot PRO flight yoke for control and the thrust control ramps both engines
up the same .. do I need to do this from the cockpit panel instead.

Thanks,

Craig

Did you opened the thrust valves ?

Do you have rudder control with your flight stick?  
cause when you're on the ground moving at low speed the rudder control steers the front wheel of the DGIII.

Hi Guys,

Perfect!  I missed that part in the manual about the yaw control also being the rudder control while on the ground, which as
Rob said, also steers the front wheel.  I can now roll out on to the tarmac without running over those two guys .. excellent!

Thank you for your help .. this sure is a fun program.

Craig
