...and don't try to corner too quickly especially in big rigs! 5-10kts for turns is plenty.

If you're steering with the the keyboard rudder control (Num0 and NumEnter), the Num5 key will re-center the rudder. This only re-centers the steering, it will not automatically align to the runway or correct for crosswind....that's your task.  ;)

If you have a 'simple' joystick, with no rudder control, you can turn on 'Autorudder' in the Realism settings. This will allow you to steer, while taxiing, with the X axis (ailerons).  
At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
