I made some mistake..and so I reinstall fsx. Now I'm re-doing all my missions again, For some reason no matter what aircraft I'm flying I always seem to have problem just to make a simple right or even a left turn on the ground. Although I can see the controller moving to the left or right in the virtual cockpit put the aircraft is rather stay in a straight or turning slightly. Can anyone help me out... I just bought the joystick two weeks ago, so don't think that's the case. will it?

Steering on the ground is controlled by the rudder. If your joystick has no separate rudder control check Auto-rudder from FSX/Settings/Realism.

Sounds like your using the yoke to try to turn whilst on the ground, use the rudder pedals instead - hopefully your new stick has a twisty grip on it to control the rudder.



TSC.

Have a look at the settings and make sure autorudder is turned on or use the numbers on the keypad to assimilate the pedal use in a real plane, can`t recall which though 2 and 8 spring to mind.  I just use autorudder.  Another thing is I once dropped the joystick and mine started going crazy whilst taxiing, never going where I wanted it to.  When I looked at the flaps on the plane they were where I wanted but the outer portion of the flaps at the end of the wings were one up and one down so it just went in circles.  I tried allsorts on the joystick to correct it.  Thankfully, one restart and unplug/replug of the joystick sorted it out.

Hope one of these helps you to sort it,
