Keys

l(small L)
toggle tail-wheel lock
N/n
fine/coarse propeller pitch
m/M
increase/decrease mixture
Ctrl-B
toggle engine boost (2 stages); 1st boost speed by default
Ctrl-D
open/close canopy

Note

According to some books and websites, the tail-wheel of Hayate is not lockable or steerable. This makes it way much difficult to control Hayate on the ground.

In the FlightGear world, tailwheel is unlocked by default (but can be locked for "easy taxing." by 'l' key). You need to use rudder, throttle, and left / right brakes to control the airplane while its tailwheel is on the ground. I think you need a foot-pedal to manipulate this airplane. When the tailwheel is lifted up, you can use the rudder and the throttle to control the airplane. Checking the turn gauge helps you predict which direction the airplane would go.

Downloads

Hi-84 is also available from the FlightGear CVS repository.

Note

diff file doesn't contain the patch for binary files. Please download the file for cvs version and extract Instruments/gauges.xcf and Instruments/gauges.rgb.

For those who kindly commit this to CVS repository:

The easiest way to commit files, i guess, is to follow the steps below: 1) apply the diff file 2) extract cvs version of the file above into at data/Aircraft directory (or copy Instruments/gauges.* in the archive to Ki-84/Instruments directory) 3) commit

This is needed since gauges.xcf and gauges.rgb are updated.
