Foz isn't used to flying by the seat of his pants -- in fact, he may no longer fly on his motorcycle with the seat of his pants...
Although my Air Force days had me operating a radar for shooting planes down or directing bomber flight paths (we were Airmen and NCOs who got to tell officers where to go, "Maintain your heading... you have missiles inbound... keep your pants on,,, drop your load now!), I didn't fly a plane until after my hitch. However, the keyboard doesn't truly equivelate the sim to your feet on the rudder control of an actual aircraft.
Still, since my flights are more often in CFS, I've returned to base with battle damage and had to use the keyboard; some planes will steer by applying the left or right brake (be careful not to nose over). On my sims I've designated the Delete, End and Page Down keys as Left, All and Right brake, respectively. My left and right arrows are for rudder control. With most aircraft, you will find greater turning control at very slow speeds.
Good  Luck.
