Hi,
Not one of my planes nose wheel turns when I turn it. The plane turns just not the wheel. How can I fix this?
Thanks!

I would venture to say that you are either taxiing too fast or you are not using your differential brakes correctly - or you have to check the setting on your joystick/yoke.

I know I'm not taxiing too fast. I used to only have to turn the yoke for the nose wheel to turn. I just found out it works on the fleets 777 and A320 but nothing else.

Do you fly with a joystick or yoke? If joystick does it allow rudder? If so disable autorudder and give that a try.

With a yoke then autorudder will need to be enabled if you don't have rudder pedals. I may be mistaken but if I remember correctly I had to when I only owned the CH Yoke.

You are correct Lloyd. With the autorudder enabled you may not get nose wheel movement with some addons. One of the more prominent ones is the LDS 767, where you won't get nose wheel movement with the autorudder on. Some other models will let you turn it, it all depends on what you are flying.
