 Hello!
I'm addicted to this beautiful plane.
Using the most recent wobbly-prop download and fixes from here and FreemoddingIL2, the prop hub looks much improved.
For me the plane continues to turn in one direction while taxiing. If someone could direct me to a download that will solve this issue that would be ideal.
I'm preparing a B-26 mission and video for Guadalcanal ( attached image )..the fix that allows me to steer the plane is all I require to fly the mission without a wobbly prop.
I'm using the VP Modpack and 4.12.2 ( modact 5) - windows 10
Thank you in advance.

I don't have the propellers you're talking about, but if the plane turns on itself it's because there are duplicates in the naming of the propeller hooks.
Please send me your two meshes (prop1_d0 & prop2_d0) via private messaging.

The recent updated mentioned by Mick corrects the duplicate hooks.

Not sure how to attach a file to a message here..it keeps telling me I exceeded the limit.
I managed to fix the steering problem by combining elements of the old Prop files and the ones from my fix downloads..
because Epervier steered me in the right direction regarding hooks and how they are named.
Possibly because I have a strange animal- the infamous GOG download - upgraded and patched to 5.12.2..modded with the VP Modpack
It got weird..I was able to steer, but had the old prop hubs until the prop was at rapid rotation -
so I tried some stuff and wrecked it a couple times. But It seems to work.
ONLY ISSUE. ALL the static B-26's I put on the field disappeared. Maybe if I just put'em back.
But hey I'm flying..and maybe I don't need the static ones.I'll figure it out.
Any suggestions welcome and THANKS, guys!
This mission will make a good video..

[anitek]

Yup..that was all I had to do..
I just put the static Marauders back on the field.
Thanks to all who have contributed to making this flyable..
Now ..  time to pay "Washing Machine Charley" a little visit.

Excellent Marauder shots anitek !
You should post some screenies when you return from Charley's 

Cheers

C.Watson  and Mick  !
We have tryed both the fixes  and the prop corrections  , absolutely no joy 
Just goes round and round     
Benno  4.09/3.1
Does it require one of the wheel mod's ??

[anitek]

Benno -  I used the fixes ref'd to by Watson and Mick and had those results.
Had my previous prop1_d0 & prop2_d0's backed up as well as fix files.
so I backed them up (again) and did edits on the copies.
If I remember correctly ( and maybe I don't )
I divided the hooks between the two files ( 0&1 on prop1 and 3&4 on prop2 ) on the 2nd fix download
and then took the hook locations from the 1st fix download and made sure there were only two for each file..I think.
I did have to try it a couple times and got frustrated - especially when I could steer but the old wobbly hubs appeared on engine start and then changed to the news ones. I had to quit for an hour and come back to it.
But then I got it working.

Alfie - Thanks! re: shots - I have an entire video of the mission to Retaka Bay In the works.
it's a long trip. And we dropped long on the target the first time and missed.
I didn't set the bomb sight to current airspeed - just left it set for the speed shown on the waypoint over the target.
Practice makes perfect, but it cost two Marauders.
It was, indeed,  a Hell of a War.
