What makes a flying boat steerable on the water with the use of the rudder pedals if it doesn’t have a water rudder defined in the contact points section (class=5)?
The Alphasim Martin PBM Mariner has no water rudder, yet is easily steered on the water by using the rudders. The Grumman HU-16 Albatross by Greg Pepper does not steer at all on the water, and also doesn’t have a water rudder contact point. The Bill Lyons Grumman Goose, on the other hand, does have a water rudder defined, and does steer very well using the rudders.
Is the ability to steer on the water (with rudders) a feature built into the model, or is there something I can do in the aircraft.cfg to make it steer?
