you could also try differential thrust. select the outer most engine in the turn and power it up but not too much.

if you just want to change the steering angle then change the number here(in RED)  to 35.00 or 40.00 or whatever you think makes things better...commoner ;)

This might be an old thread, but one I found after having this problem with my latest Project Opensky 747v4 download into FSX.

Once I downloaded their "FDE 9.7D" file and replaced the AIR and CFG files, the steering is now perfect!

Just thought this might help solve future headaches  ;)
