Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner taxing

The taxi problem persists. It get stock and It won’t move even with full throttle and full rudder left or right.

Of course that I don’t have the parking brake lol it just get stock and is so annoying

You make taxi run with keyboard or with joystick ? With keyboard you front wheel turn 90 degrees left or right immediately and brakes plane. With joystick axis you can turn front wheel smoothly how many degrees you need for turn and with taxi speed below 10 knot its no problems to turn this big plane for me. You can use left or right brake for better to turn.

I turn with my ThrustMaster

Under which conditions are you getting stuck?
If it’s during a turn you need to cancel all steering input to get moving again, especially at high weight.

Yeah I think that’s working a bit…

The steering is a bit jacked up I agree, it needs some correcting for sure. Seems like once you approach the max angle of your nose wheel steering it just stops steering not matter your speed, even 1 or 2 knots and with even minimal power it will want to keep going straight and like PZL wrote you have to straighten the wheel back up, get forward momentum going then steer again. It may feel like ground crew left the bypass pin in :laughing: You can also try while turning the nose wheel using differential thrust and see if this helps you.

I’m trying lol

Don’t use more than 75-80% rudder deflection during a turn, not even at very low speed.

At higher speed the result can be ugly IRL as well…

Well, here we’re talking about taxing not taking off, so perhaps don’t use 75 to 80% *Power during ground maneuvering :joy:

What are you talking about??? Suggest to reread my above post.

I’m talking about what I am talking about which is not to use 75 to 80 percent power during taxi maneuvering… because one may often find them selves needing full range of the nose wheel. The MD 88 did the burn out not because of to much nose wheel input but because to much power being applied with the amount of nose wheel steering upon line up. Makes me wonder if the flight was delayed at the gate prior to departure. Thanks, I read it just fine. :grinning:

Apparently you didn’t. Where did I write 75-80% power???

I wrote 75-80% rudder deflection. In my experience most MSFS aircraft tend to increase the turning radius, or even stop turning if you you are using a higher, e.g. full, deflection.

When did I ever quote you? I mean, is that your perception that I did? I never wrote that you wrote 75 to 80 percent power. I wrote 75 to 80% power… And yes, I see that you wrote rudder deflection, clearly. My reply after yours was not in regards to anything you wrote though that in regards to the video you posted.

It does indeed on a lot these aircraft. There are a few payware aircraft that simulate tire traction a lot better than others and even the default aircraft.

Anyways, good luck in your taxing endeavors and the taxi 100 miles achievement!

The stock B787 does taxi OK but I use differential braking using my Saitek Rudder pedals, you must make turns slowly and add a little power.
I fly it everyday, hope this helps.

If you have the hardware throttle that has them independently or drag either one independently with your mouse. Honestly have never seen the key commands for differential braking in the controls assignments menu, gonna have to take another look. Would be nice to have it.

i have the same issue with 787 since SU5. it’s unusable on the ground now.

IRL you do use asymmetric thrust and differential braking to achieve the minimum turning radius.
