May 2, 200521 yr Is their a tweak I can do in the aircraft.cfg file to reduce the sensitivity of my aircraft steering while taxing on the ground? I use rudder pedals to taxi, and all my aircraft steer fine except one which is way to sensitive. I don't want to change the sensitivity of my rudder pedals using FSUIPC or my rudder pedal software, because doing that, will change it for all aircraft which work fine...

May 4, 200521 yr Author If you have a later version 3.x registered FSUIPC you can use the slope command to make the sensitivity non-linear over the peds range. Less sensitivity will be at the center area of yaw and more effect will be experienced as you approach the outer ranges. This way you do not have to limit your max nosewheel steering angle as noted above and you retain the ability of max steering at max peds position.Several axis have this ability.Most of my aircraft were over sensitive but as an average fix this worked well since no range was lost on aircraft that did not display oversteering.
