Speeding and veering aircraft

[kickerpicker]

Hello,

I have just recently installed FS2004 and I'm having some setbacks that I need to address with you knowledgeable folks out there.

First, EVERY airplane I have, defaults and freeware downloads alike, wants to run away when I release the brakes. The joystick brake trigger has very little effect on this, so I have to utilize the "Ctrl+." to stop the aircraft. That takes TWO hands and by then I've either run off the taxiway or rear ended somebody. Is there some magical fix that can give me back control of my airplanes?

Secondly, my airplanes want to veer off to the right or left and very rarely taxi in a straight line. My sensitivities are set to "easy" so there is no torque or "p" factor involved. My joystick (Wingman Extreme) has been calibrated and re-calibrated so if that's the problem, it's not apparent. Any ideas on this?

Any help would be sorely appreciated.
Thanks,
Roy Ryland

If you have any crosswind they will naturally veer left or right.

Roy I was having the same problem with taxing. The plane would vear to the left then right. The nose gear was not centering when I released the twist in the joy stick.

I went to joystick and checked the simple, then made sensitivity extreme right and the null extreme left.

Then do the re cal and see it that works.

Now when I start to taxi a little power starts the moving, back off a little and make the direction turn with the joystick and then release the pressures and see if the nose gear centers and tracks straight.
Add a little power as needed.

You may need to set a little "Null" in your controller, otherwise it may not have a "Centered" position but will always be left/right, up/down, etc.

Here's how I set up mine...all axis have at least on click of "Null":
