Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

On the ground, after landing, turn off engine no. 1. try to make a right hand turn. This is impossible to do. The plane does veer hard to the left though.
(I have all assists turned off, so no auto rudder and all that)

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Single engine taxi is difficult or impossible in the ATR, which is unfortunate because it is a normal procedure IRL. This is also true of many aircraft in MSFS due to the modelling of wheels/tires. Because wheels are modeled as points of contact with friction determined by the type of contact and not in a more sophisticated way (as actual wheels), differential thrust/braking has an exaggerated effect. Steering the nosewheel also adds drag which exacerbates the effect of reduced thrust from only having one engine running.

In MSFS the front wheel seems to be slipping.

Can confirm the cannot turn right issue.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

I can’t really go straight even with full deflection of the steering. The plane only turns left, or hard left.
