    F-5 Tips, Tricks, and Suggestions

    Figured I'd start this thread for now as the other thread is fairly general, and I'd like to keep this one clean and to the subject please. (challenges & alternatives to suggestions are of course welcome)

    So most of us who've been playing with it have been introduced to the more challenging nosewheel steering. I have a simple solution that makes it work exactly as it does in the A-10 (i.e. toggle):

    First, I'm using Eddie's proposed curves on the rudder: 32, deadzone of 5 for me.

    Second, I mapped the nosewheel steering to the "EAC ARM" switch on the throttle. Now, essentially, I flip it on, and just steer as normal without "holding" a button, and deactivate it as necessary during lineup/roll. Works flawlessly. of course, use your button of choice, but it's loads easier with a flipped switch.

    Third: Anyone trying to learn ANYTHING about startup and fuel balance should just read Snoopy's checklist. It. Just. Works. And it's quick and easy.
