hey ive got a little problem with all my aircraft. when i go to turn corners on the taxiway it dosent turn, the plane just tilts a little bit to the corners left and right. i dont no what went wrong but if anyone knows what the problem is can you help me plz.

thnx

First, which aircraft?

Second a few things to try.

1. Are you using the rudder or have the auto-rudder turned on?

2. Is the yaw damper turned on?

3. How fast are you trying to taxi?

right its all aircraft and im not taxing fast about 25-35 mph it could be auto rudder how do you turn it off?

I think the problem is that you are trying to use ailerons to turn on the ground. The ailerons only control bank, which does not do anything for steering on the ground. Most aircraft in FS have the steering linked to the rudder control. If your joystick setup has a rudder (twisty-grip stick, rudder pedals, etc.), use this. If your setup does not have a rudder "auto-rudder" will make the appropriate rudder inputs for you in flight and will allow you to steer with the ailerons on the ground. Auto-rudder is set under the Aircraft -> Realism menu.

i dont have twisty grip stick and i dont have rudder pedals either i have to tilt my joystick left and right to turn. the only thing is it was working alright untill i tried out the buttons on the joystick to see what would happen and now i cant change them back.  :'(

Make sure that Auto-rudder is enabled from Aircraft Realism settings.

At the earliest opportunity I suggest investing in a joystick with separate rudder control. They're not expensive.

I'd suggest getting actual rudder pedals.  They are more expensive than a new twist grip joystick though.

OR........ stop down in the "Homebuild Cockpits" forum section here (The Dark Side) and look for information of how to build a set of rudder pedals out of an old joystick.

best,

yeah its alright getting new joysticks and that but my fs9 only went wrong when i tried new buttons and now it wont change back i dont know what has happened but i just need to sort it out. thnx for advise anyways.

Did you try my suggestion?

Make sure that Auto-rudder is enabled from Aircraft Realism settings.

There is also an option from FS9/Setttings/Assignments to return the joystick commands to the default settings.
