Helicopter wheels don't work (Unable to surface taxi)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

None of the wheels on any of the wheeled helicopters actually work. What I mean by this is that the wheels don't roll. Say you want to taxi to the end of the runway from your hangar. You flip on the batteries, start the engine, etc.. You then raise collective just enough so that you don't take off. You gently push forward on the stick, and... nothing (Note: The helicopter moves only when tipped at a dangerous angle, with the rear wheel(s) off the ground and the front dragging like a boat anchor). Normally your helicopter would be on its way down the Tarmac, but the wheels seem to be locked up. I have a feeling that the wheels aren't actually modeled as wheels. This bug is quite annoying when dealing with hangars (No tractors to guide the aircraft D; ). What should happen is that the swash plate tips slightly forward, producing more lift in the aft. The helicopter will then be on its merry way, rolling around and such. {F23353}
