    Did you make the change in the [Contact Points] section to make the tail wheel steerable?


    [contact_points]

    max_number_of_points = 7

    point.0 = 1, -38.815, 0, -1.1, 1574.803, 0, 0.667, 40, 0.3, 3, 0.5, 3, 5, 0, 194, 220 <------------------THIS LINE!
    //Replace contact_point.0 below with the one above if you want a steerable tailwheel
    //point.0 = 1, -38.815, 0, -1.1, 1574.803, 0, 0.667, 180, 0.3, 3, 0.5, 3, 5, 0, 194, 220
    point.1 = 1, 1.65, -9.75, -7.022, 1574.803, 1, 1.708, 0, 0.8, 1.5, 0.7, 1.8, 3, 2, 194, 220

    Just as a note, few larger tail draggers had a steerable tailwheel. The DHC-3 Otter being an exception with (a rather troublesome) electric unit. Unfortunately most people do not have multiple throttles in their control setup. This adds a lot to realism as one can better experience the vagaries of handling large tail draggers.
