I just bought a new copy of Flight Simulator 2004. I was using Flight Simulator 2000 before. I was suprised at how little turning power was availiable while taxiing. I have to make huge circles or slam the brakes to make a turn from a runway to a taxiway. Is this the same in everybody elses game?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hello
It sounds like you are turning too fast(about 5/10 mph is ideal)
Fs9 also has braking for each wheel (press F11/F12)
Hope it helps

hi

try to make turns just about 10kts for lighter planes and abt 8 kts for heavy aircraft. or else u could add power about 45% and hit the brekes while turning. i hope it will work out.
bye
