Bouncing and crashes on ground

<< < (2/2)

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
I have seen ATR's been pushed back at EGNT so i think they are smaller

EHM-0654 Murray:
And back to the original post...

Ian,

That is caused by bad scenery; usually an incorrect surface setting, and the default MS scenery is terrible for it.

At a number of fields on the various tours I have completed I'll be taxiing along what looks like tarmac and all of a sudden the nose will start kangarooing (and it's only exacerbated by having crash detection turned off).

Only thing you can do in such situations is throttle back a little and taxi a bit slower.

Actually, I once flew from Tenerife North (GCXO) to Lanzerote (GCRR)
and I was surprised to see some quite fast self-propelled pushbacks
done by the ATR-72's of Air Canaria. They just reversed the pitch of
the propeller's blades and backed up and steered appropriately,
without any assistance from ground vehicles.

Ciao ciao!

Manu

EHM-1539 Pierre:
I confirm, finished the ATR72 manual two days ago... You can reverse to push back, excepting when there is too much tailwind (to avoid hot exhausted gaz to come back in the turboprop).
