Flight Question Nose Wheel Turning?

[Napalm42]

I seem to have run into a problem here.

I'm trying to taxi an XR5 out of a hangar at Wideawake, but no matter what controls I try, it doesn't rotate for anything, even with Hielor's NoseWheelTurn.

Any suggestions?

It has no turning animation, but the vessel will still turn if you're moving.

Problem is, I have no idea what key gets it to turn, I've searched through most of the documentation on Orbiter, the XR5, NoseWheelTurn, even scouring the forums, nothing.

To get it to turn use the keys 1+3 (might be wrong) on your numpad. This the way to get the rudders to turn while turning the craft. I might be wrong thought

You're right. Numpad 1 and 3 turn the craft on the ground.

Make sure your APU is on - you need it for the hydraulics that steer things (including flight surfases [another in-joke, my apologies...]).

I thought the XR5 had an animated nose wheel for steering?

APU on, turn on flight control surfaces, then get going about 25 m/s. Use numpad 1 and 3 to turn. Happy day

I feel insanely stupid, I forgot the APU.

Thanks a lot guys.

From keymap.cfg:
RCSYawLeft = NUMPAD1
RCSYawRight = NUMPAD3

It has. From XR manual, page 11 :
XR5-Only Features
- Nose wheel steering animation.
