Classic British Flight Sim

Err.. yes, of course I did. How remiss of me not to mention it I don't think your Brit or CL44 naff off at speed on closed throttle with the parking brake off though. At least I don't think they do

No they don't

But best to used only two or they can build up speed quickly, just like the real ones

LOL... one of my work acquantainces (a former Brit co-pilot) was once in a Brit that backed out of hangar under reverse as it was late 'off maintenance'

Ps Got the Andover in and out of St Bart's ok...

The CL-44 had to reverse sometimes to make the taxiway corners as the long wheelbase made the turns tight, the longer J was even worse.

There was a note in the PN about using the brakes to stop, to use forward thrust, as you could end up sitting on the tail . The model does that too ...so a freind tells me

Indeed Garry, 3 of the turboprop types I've got type ratings for will also sit on their tails if you use brakes in reverse!!
(and 2 of the jets will also sit on their tails if you use more than 25% N1 at below 5kts taxi speed... gotta be careful out there !)
