In real life I see airplanes all the time taxi slow so they can be safe and I know there is a speed limit but when I try and taxi as slow as I can it just goes fast. I can taxi good at those high 15 kts but I wanna taxi slower.

I have the saitek throtlle now with mixture if I put maybe a low or high mixture or prop will I taxi slower?

Thanks  ;)

Check into this gauge, it might be what you're after.

FSX Gauges: Pushback, Taxispeed control, etc. This archive contains version 5.0 of my "groundhandling" gauges, like automated pushback with conversation sounds, a Taxispeed controller using throttle AND brake settings, and more; it can added to any aircraft. New in V5.0: 1. Only for FSX !! 2. Accurate interworking with the new FSX pushback tugs. YES, finally :-) !!! 3. Reworked Brakes gauge. 4. Taxispeed gauge now has a built-in ARM function. Easy to install, and fully documented. By Rob Barendregt. 447K

You know ive seen this on some of my airplanes and ive tried to downlaod it before but I couldent get it to work. The whole think was black.
Im going to try again and let you know how it goes. Also when I tried to get it to work on some airplanes I set it to 15 knts and it went to 25 and incresing  ;D.

Okay well this time I got it working  ;)
Did you make this?
Its excellent! Bravo  ;D

Now this makes my FS experience even more realistic becuase im taxing the right way  ;D.
Not only will it do that but now I can have realistic 20 min taxi's for my Virtual Airline and that give me more hours  :D

Thanks alot

You clould probably even just use speed holder... but that gauge is still very good

I thought I'd make my FS experience more realistic as well.

I finally went and got some Saitek pedals when the rudder function on my Logitech 3D PRO started to fail.

Boy,is that realistic!! I've found I'm as bad at using toe brakes in FSX as I am in real life----never follow me on a taxiway!!! You'll die laughing

but hey its a simulation

Exactly.. it gives you the ability to simulate being a pilot (not a pssenger)  ;)

Another option with MOST props... reduce prop rpm's via the prop control throttle... or toggle ctrl+ f2/f3. Same thing when trying to taxi with a float or amph.... Of course the gauge is easier, more like a ground AP.  :)
Either way, enjoy

The only plane I would use this on is the King Air. I find it next to impossible to keep a steady slow speed. I've tried everything possible but still end up bobbing down the taxiway due to braking. It's a shame too. I really love this plane and am currently flying a US capital tour in it. Twenty one capitals go.  

One of the better methods I have found is using the F2 & F3 keystrokes as they move the throttles slowly. But the King air is a little tough but using the F2 & f3 sequence helps. 8-)
