I'm running it in OS9 (STARTS to launch in X, plus no inputsprocket support) and am using a MacAlly joystick with throttle controls, etc. ... for the life of me, I can NOT get the aircraft to turn when I am on the ground, taxiing. I have to use the , and . keys to left and right brake to turn, suffice it to say it's a real pain in the ass. Are there keys I can use for taxiing? Shouldn't it be the same as the aileron keys or whatever? I read through the manual a few times but couldn't find anything..

Thanks in advance

If it's anything like real flying, ailerons don't turn the plane when it's on the ground. You either need to rev the engine and hit the rudder if it's a taildragger, use the rudder (which is linked to the nosewheel) if it's a tricycle gear plane, or use the brakes as you are currently doing to steer on the ground.

You could always make the rudder and aileron keys the same, I guess...but that'll make for some ugly-ass flying.
