Helllp....some how I have lost the ability to steer the aircraft while on the tarmak...i have reset the joytick controlls but still not able to turn..can someone help meee???...thanks

Is is plugged in (happens to the best of us, I cannot tell you how many times this has turned out to be the problem..)

Maybe your autopilot is turned on still, check and turn it off if it is!

it happened to me once in FS95, that i had my YAW DAMPER on after i landed, so i couldn't steer while on the ground

i still don't know exactly what the yaw damper does

haha, don't worry, I don't know what the yaw damper does either...

The yaw damper works like a wing leveler except for the rudder (yaw axis).  Do you see the rudder or nose wheel moving when you move the controls?

make sure the joystick is fully plugged in, and also try cleaning the usb plug on your joystick. do this by simply blowing into a couple times. sometimes the dust prevents  it from fully connecting to the computer....

Make sure "auto coordination" is on if your using your joystick. It's in the realizm settings.

do this by simply blowing into a couple times.

I wouldn't suggest doing this.  Even the slightest bit of moisture can really throw your system out of whack.

Instead, I'd spend three or four bucks on a can of compressed air specifically designed for such a feat.  (It's great for other things as well, like keeping your cats off the table.)

If you're are using joystick make sure that ,in realism setting the autorudder is set on otherwise the plane won't turn on the ground and only the aileron will work and not the rudder,they should do it together in this
way. remeber AUTORUDDER ON
