Disabling automatic steering on the ground

Featured Replies

Hi there!

I am pretty new to MFS so forgive me if this is a simple fix, I just can't seem to find it. I have tried searching for an answer but couldn't find anything.

The problem I am having is on the ground when I'm trying to taxi, it's like the steering is automatic. It will literally follow the taxi routes, but not always the ones I'm expecting it to. Any attempt to steer myself just fights against it. I don't use any AI piloting but I've made sure that all the AI pilot options are turned off that I can see, and I've had a check through some of the other options like accessibility, but I can't seem to find any way to disable this so that I can steer myself. 

I'd really appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Check if under Assistance Options>Piloting if you have Auto Rudder on, and under Assistance Options>Navigation Aids if Taxi Ribbon is on. Don't know if one of these is the problem, but if on it is worth turning them off just to check.

Do you have this problem with more than one aircraft?

May make sure the AI pilot is unchecked. Since nose steering is almost impossible I use the AI Pilot to do the ground taxing by just it on, then off from the takoff to landing.
