machado someone else will have to help with.
as for taxing what do you mean? its a simple case of putting the throttle to enough power to move forward then either left or right rudder to turn or if you have autorudder just move the joystick left or right, to pushback press shift+p then 1 or 2 quickly to turn left or right. hope thats of some help

For the flight school problems try turning the volume up on the ATC/instructor and down for engines and other sounds.

Hey Niko...are you flying with a joystick or with your keyboard?  Also, what version of FS are you using?  Once I know those answers, I'll be able to answer your questions about the rudder.  Welcome to Flight Sim...hope you're single!  LOL  (Fly for a few months and you'll understand...SHE won't, but you will.)

A good friend of mine has a Wingman, but I honestly don't remember what the model number is.

the best i can say then is dont worry about the rudder, just use the joystick to turn on the ground, as for the rudder keys i cant remember those as i changed the defaults day one, look in the controller assignments for that. but again just use the joystick to turn and you'll be ok
welcome to simv and happy landings:)

I have to say, the reason I keep coming back to SimV is because the people here are really great and really helpful.  (I'd definitely say more so here than on any other forum.)  There are a lot of veterans here who have not forgotten when they themselves were newbies.

I've recently learned about the checkrides as well.  I'd definitely avoid those.  But the lessons (if Niko can ever get to hear them) are definitely invaluable.  There are a lot of ways to learn technique though.   ;)

I've been flying MSFS since FS98, and I'm still learning!
I'd bet a lot of the FS veterans will say the same.

Niko, don't give up on the lessons. There's a lot of good reading in the FS Library. Take some time to just open it up and start at the top, and read it thru. You'd be suprized as to how much useful info you can get out of there.

:D
