Rear axle steering in Follow command

Hello!

I have to check many existing roads for wind turbine blade transport for blades up to 90m in length.

I have redefined existing blade transport in VT library to necessary length and try to test  in 90 degree turns with different radius.

I try to use "Follow" command, but rear axle of the trailer are turning right in first phase of turn. When using AutoDrive Arc I can use Override Rear Steering an hold rear axle of the trailer on the road (as close as possible to Follow line) without going on the right side as in Follow case. 

I have Tehnical Specifications from several wind turbine manufacturers about access roads and swept paths. None of them have widenings of the road on other side (outside of turn).

I wonder if there are something that I miss in VT input data or parameters?

Is it possible to get trailer's rear axle to Follow line as Tractor's front axle do? Like I do manually with Override Rear Steering?

Printscreen:

Upper vehicle - Follow command

Lower vehicle - manually driven with Override Rear Steering

How did you go with this?

R30 is likely too much for 90m blade

I did all manually with mouse clicking on the road axis and steering rear with mouse scroll button.

According to technical specifications of turbine manufacturers, minimal radius in curve is even bigger - approx. 60m but the problem is the same with trailer moving towards outside of curve.
