Is it just me or is it very difficult to taxi without going of the taxiway or runway or without that yor plane is going to make circels?

Could some one please explain me?

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. Cool

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 Smile

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.
