Dash 8 - Taxi speed

[Guest jgcomp]

After much searching and trials to no avail, I now feel compelled to ask. How does one control the taxi speed of the PSS Dash 8? I currently use the throttle lever on my joystick (Microsoft Forcefeedback 2). I can easily get the aircraft to move slowly at first but it gradually gains speed as it progresses along the taxiways until I slightly decrease the joystick throttle. But then the aircraft slowly comes to a stop. And I have to redo the process. I can seem to find a happy medium where the aircraft will taxi at a constant and reasonable speed. I also use the A319,320,321, A330/A340 with great success. Actually these seem to control themselves without any help from me after I get them moving slightly, i.e., increase the joystick throttle slightly until the aircraft moves and then bring the throttle lever back.Thanks for answersJean-Guy

Please amend the sentence "I can seem to find a happy....." to read "I CANNOT seem..."sorry for that typo.Jean-Guy

It would be too long to explain it all here but you may want to read this very good article about it: http://www.swedflight.com/addons/guide_to_...to%20turboprop'It also explains the correct take-off settings and answers the problem of Dash taking off like a rockett!Hope I helped a bit!Nikonman
