AAO MSFS - Can't get tiller axis to work with Aerosoft CRJ

I can't get AAO's tiller function to work with the  AS CRJ in MSFS. Do I have everything set correctly here? https://imgur.com/a/ZCQTRoe

Please try the "AXIS_TILLER_SET" event instead (second row on the assignment dialog). It is in the group right at the top of the treelist. Many aircraft in MSFS don't react to the official control axis variables and you have to use events instead.

Thanks! That works, sort of-- it doesn't independently control the tiller but acts more like a rudder axis. Is that to be expected?

I do not use A&O but I am a tester for the CRJ. Normally the aircraft is steered in the ground with the rudder axis, since MSFS offers no native tiller axis. In the real aircraft nose wheel steering requires that the NWS switch on the pilot’s left console be turned “on”.

There is currently no easy way in WASM to disable the primary axes such as ailerons, elevator and rudder - meaning those axes will respond to controller movement even if the aircraft is cold and dark. Nevertheless, the nose wheel steering switch does have effect in the sim. Turning it on will allow the nose wheel to pivot when the Z axis is moved, whereas if it is off, the wheel remains fixed straight ahead. The aircraft will still turn in spite of this, but it scrubs the nose wheel tires and makes sharp turns more difficult than with the switch “on”. 

I don’t know if the switch state would affect ground steering when using A&O to emulate a steering tiller.

Yes. The tiller has control as long as you are slower than 30 knots. After that, Rudder control takes over.
