| Are you taxiing with the ailerons or the rudder? Most beginners make that mistake thinking the nose wheel is controlled by the ailerons in FS2004. Don't tilt the joystick left/right; that's for turning in the air. Turning on the ground is with the rudder, or twisting the joystick. |

| You may wish to consider turning "down" the sensitivity for your rudders. I have noticed that the CH Products Yokes appear to be a bit sensitive by default.8) 8) 8) |

I don't have a joystick yet, but I'm using the right en left arrow on my keyboard, I don't know if that's the control of the rudders or ailerons, but what are the controls of the ailerons?

With "num lock" off, use numeral pad for following commands:
0 = rudder turn left
5 = straighten up
enter = rudder turn right
4 = aileron turn left
5 = straighten up
6 = aileron turn right
Hope this helps :) |

But now do I have to use the ailerons wich are located at the end of the wings or do I have to use the rudder wich is located on the tail?
And what was I doing when I used the right and left arrows on my keyboard, wich was making my aircraft crazy? |

| My joystick doesn't twist so I have to lean it to the side which works OK on the ground when taxiing. Saitek ST200 USB joystick |

| That works for you because you have "Auto-Rudder" on. Nice way to dig up a topic, by the way. |
