Can someone tell me what line I would edit in the Aircraft cfg. file to adjust the front wheel turning radius of aircraft? I have a problem with the front wheel steering in my Convair props. When taxiing, I turn and the wheel bogey pivots but the plane does not follow the radius of the turn. It seems to want to follow a longer arc, and is slow to respond.

are your props flat or do you have pitch in them when you turn. If you are turning left, and you don't reduce the AOA of the prop, you will have a harder time turning.

I have pitch in them, and the result is the same either turning left or right.
