| 231917 | 2004-04-25 04:12:00 | hi there There is a problem with flight sims 2002 that's driving me crazy. I play with a keyboard because i don't have a joystick. It's problem with taxiing the aircraft onto the runway. This is what i do with the Cessna 172 for taxiing. 1. Apply throttle to around 1000rpm. 2. Release the brakes by pressing the period key or the full-stop key. The the plane should start moving, but it doesn't, so i put the throttle to a lot higher thent the plane suddenly start moving at take-off speed and obviously i can't taxi the aircraft at this speed. So why does this happen, what am i doing wrong, can someone tell me the exact steps of taxiing the aircraft? Thanks |

| 231919 | 2004-04-25 10:50:00 | i found that palying with out a joystick was a sod. as for taxi i just set the system to start me on the active runway. the other option might by to put throttle up to 2000rpm for a moment just to get the aircraft moving then drop it back to about 800rpm. |

Even a real elcheapo one from somewhere like Cash Converters (who have them by the bucket full) will do for starters. If you find one that has a stick that turns (for rudder control) should fix your taxiing problems for good. If you find one, be sure it has the right plug for your computer. Happy landings. Craigb. |
