Hello,

I just installed Dave's model F/A-18B/D Package. Version 1.1   and I've been having this issue with the rudders where they're always pointing inward.  Does anyone have the same issue?

That is strange, I wonder what is causing the issue!

It's a setting for the rudders I believe, and unfortunately I don't know how to fix it, I just know it's a setting that somehow got stuck in that position.

Hello,

I don't remember exactly where the fix comes from but in my install I've modified the Data.ini of the TMF F/A-18A like this :
