Can anyone tell me what the heck is the "Barbie Decal" ?

They induced a bug in a recent update that made some pink textures appear.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

One of the things I have always noted with the 737 is that you should not apply full deflection on, in my case, the rudder pedals. It actually turns better when apply slightly less than full deflection.

Yes I have noticed it tends to skid on full deflection at anything over a few knots.  To be expected I think.

I set an end-range null-zone in my MSFS 737 control profile so the tiller (nosewheel) doesn't travel past the minimum turning radius deflection. If you use combined rudder/tiller with pedals or twist joystick and apply the same null-zone to control the nosewheel, it may be too much of a limit for the rudder which could make it hard to control during crosswind, highspeed takeoff and landing roll.

Your observation is correct. All that is related to ASOBO. The issue is with 8 KTS GS, is a wrong limitation that causes the airplane to widen the turn if you exceed that speed. Observing planes with tillers, passing 8 KTS GS, you may notice that the tiller moves towards the center without the pilot's input, and using both the tiller and rudder for steering becomes less effective.
If you care, I made some adjustments, and I think that is much better.
