Could not steer plane on the ground with nose wheels after push-back

I have been experiencing problems at Sydney airport (vanilla version) where I could not get my Boeing 787-10 to taxi using the nose wheels, it was as if the plane had a mind of its own.
This only happened at Sydney airport by the way, all other airports I’ve used so far have not manifested this behavior.
I accidentally found what was causing the problem :), problem was the push-back tug having a crush on my plane and refusing to let go, when I asked Ground to stop push-back it did release the plane and pulled back but it seams to leave an invisible tug attached to my plane, I was to eager to get going and I think it was my mistake to start taxi-ing before the tug had gone back to its home position. I now let it return and wait for the warning lights on the tug to switch off and I have no problem taxi-ing.
Anybody else experience this problem? give this a try and see if it resolves the problem.

P.S. I have not searched the Forums for this problem.

Yep, been there, done that. In an earlier version of 2020 I had managed to taxi the Asobo King Air 350 from parking to the runway threshold at KSFO. I had noticed that the steering felt off, and something was fighting me the whole way. When I was holding short I went to an exterior camera, and noticed that the pushback tug was half under the ground beneath my plane. :slight_smile:
