December 4, 2025Dec 4 While I love how this aircraft flies in MSFS 2024, steering it on the ground is another matter. I currently control my aircraft with a CH Products yoke and throttle quadrant, and I also use a Thrustmaster Airbus flight stick that has rudder control on its twist axis. While I can steer the 737 Max on the ground with the flight stick rudder axis, I would much prefer to use nose wheel steering so that I can control this plane just with the yoke and throttle quadrant. Problem is that I cannot find a way to reliably assign nose wheel steering to an axis on the yoke or the throttle quadrant. Ideally, I would assign the nose wheel to the yoke’s “X” axis and use it for both aileron and nose wheel while on ground, but I also have an unused axis available on the quadrant. The 737 Max EFB has a checkbox for independent nose wheel steering under the Panel Style/General tab. The MSFS 2024 Controller setup menus include nose wheel steering as an assignable function. I have tried numerous times to assign nose wheel steering to my yoke axis or the quadrant axis with the MSFS 2024 controller setup menu, and both by checking and not checking the EFB independent steering check box. I’ve even tried assigning the steering to the aircraft with FSUIPC7 axis assignment, but this too has not worked. Regardless of the method used, the nose wheel steering is not working, or, it works temporarily but does not stick for subsequent flights. Any advice on how this should be done? Thanks much for any help. Rich System: 5800X3d, 4080 Super GPU, 64 Gb DDR4 ram, 4- 1TB SSD drives, LG 37 in. 4K display, Windows 11.
December 4, 2025Dec 4 I have my nose wheel steering setup using my flight stick twist axis. I have it checked in the sim hardware menu and the EFB of the Max 8. And I can control the steering very well within the shortcomings of the internal flight sim parameters. Which is not great. I assign it to all my aircraft that's in the sim. Do you have peddles? They can also be used as nose wheel steering. I know most developers wish Asobo do a better job with the way aircraft steering and ground handling.
