I’m really struggling to get this plane off the ground, or on the ground, on a X Box Series S. It doesn’t seem to respond to anything more than starting the engine and taking brakes off. The best I can get is for the aircraft to tip forward and stop the prop. It would seem from this video that there are a number of settings which need to be made manually before any movement can be made. The checklist does not reflect this. It would be nice to be able to taxi to the runway for a start! Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the parking brake is set. Check that the lever on the spade grip is over to the left before you start moving. Hopefully that should fix it!

I am using the program on a X Box series S. Setting the bake to ‘off’ on the hand controller or clicking on the cockpit view makes no difference. Trying to make some progress with a very gentler acting actually saw the plane moving backwards before tipping over. Never had this problem on any other plane. How did we manage to win WW2?
