How are you supposed to time you flight for a va?
From start up to shut down, or from t/o to t/d |

| Most VA's will have the format for reporting spelled out somewhere. The few I have been involved with use T/O to T/D as the startup and shutdown procedures for various aircraft are so different in time requirements. Therefore, to keep it a little more fair, actual flight time is used. |

Alright thanks for clarifying
And I have one more question about the pmdg 747
I flew it at a friends house and when I was making the turns while taxiing the front nose gear wouldnt turn
How can I get it to? |

Dont know, forgot
It was under 20kts though, maybe around there
Speed is a factor to nose gear rotation in the pmdg? |

| Steerable nose-wheel has to be modeled into the aircraft and tied to the rudder animation. Not all aircraft have it. |

This is a good place to insert a clue.....
ask the the individual who made the darned thing, then promptly post what you found out for the edification of the members at large. |

Of course the PMDG 747 has nosewheel steering modelled! Doh!
But as 121a asked, did you have a rudder assignment for the joystick? Or did you just use the alirons? |

Recheck what you have with whoever you got it from. Post up a link to it, so we can check it out.
Otherwise, as GS pointed out, if it wasn't modelled into the a/c, then no matter what you do, you won't have it.
