I have got a problem. When i want to taxi to a runway (for example with a B-737) and i give a little bit throtle, my plane wont steer. Im using the normal arrows. I don't understand, because my friend can use them to taxi. When i am in the air, the arrows do work and then i can steer. (on the ground my flaps to steer only move)

Can someone please help me ?

If you want to use the ailerons for ground steering, select 'Autorudder' in the realism menu...however it's not realistic at all

I have a few planes that wont steer even with the auto-rudder on. So use the differential brakes (F11-left, F12-right). I think is the default setting for the differential brakes Roll Eyes

try using the rudder to steer. Most airliners actually have a separate 'steering wheel' that turns the nose gear. In Flight Simulator, this is replicated with the rudder. In the Airbuses that I fly, the nose steering is used for taxiing and the rudder is used to straighten the jet during takeoff. Ailerons actually only move panels on the wings, and have no affect unless wind is flowing over the wings. Also try the whole auto-rudder thing. If you have a joystick, try that. Twist the stick for the rudder. Roll Eyes

Thank you, i tried the auto-rudder and it works well, however it's not realistic, but if there is no other way..
Thank you all.

If your talking bout the cursor arrow keys between the keyboard and numpad ( or the arrow keys on the numpad) those control ailerons and elevators. To control the rudder, which also controls the steerable gear, use the 0 and Enter keys on the numpad, with num lock off. The 5 key centers the rudder.
