After I tried installing the joystick and making it work a dozoen times. I decided to just use the keyboard, but theres a problem. The plane goes not turn when on the ground. It does turn when in the air but when it's on the ground everything is just absolutely still!

Can someone please help, thanks.

My greatest ambition is to become a pilot

There ARE some planes that don't turn ... not just turn well, but won't 180 in the size of a football field. (on the ground, of course)I have a few in a stable of about 100. Keep trying others.

Couple of thoughts............

Is the plane a tail-dragger? Some tail-draggers do not have a steerable tail wheel. Steering is done using differential brakes (F11 and F12), rudder control (once you have enough speed), and (if multiple engine) differential power.

If the plane has a steerable nose/tail wheel, to steer on the ground use rudder control, zero and enter on the numpad, not the aileron controls, 4 and 6. The 5 key re-centers.

Cheers,
Dave

The better is, you acelerate (if you on a cessna) just a little acelearate to 1000rpm and desacelerate, to aliviate a little. And then you must press the buttom 0(right) or Enter(left) on your right keyboard. This is the controls of rudders. I hope that i help you!! Grin

If you are not a die hard for reality, put the plane in slew--rotate it---take it out of slew.
