Hey everybody! I wonder if I could get some help regarding taxiing down the runway.

Is there any way to stabilize the plane during taxi and eliminate the "wobble" from side to side? I don't have a joystick...I use the keyboard.

Also, this occasionally happens at takeoff as well...I guess when the wind is blowing.

Well buddy let me say welcome to flyaway. My biggest suggestion for now is to get a joystick. You will eventually. I have the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro with a twist stick. I love it.

Thanks but that doesn't answer my question. I am broke and cannot afford a joystick right now. Is there away to do what I need to do with the keyboard?

Here are all the keyboard commands. Print them out (I did) and you'll always refer to them even when you can get a stick.

Flying the sim with the keyboard is difficult at best. Keep your taxi speed slow which makes it easier to taxi.

What wobble are you talking about?

I fly with the keyboard (and love it!), but don't have this problem... Is it a fast wobble, or are you drifting back and forth across the taxiway? Constant adjustement using the rudder (0 and Enter on my keypad!) keeps me going straight....
