How do I disable Nose steer [Answered]

[sharpless281]

Is there a way to disable this, pushing the red button on the left side of the yoke does not do it.

It's the black push button on the upper left of the yoke. Right mouse click for t/o and left for taxi. Or inverse I don't remember.

Thanks. It seems to be ok when I am taking off but landing is another story. I have tried to engage T-O just before touchdown and after. My guess is I am not slow enough or something else. I will try it again

You can't enable nose wheel steering while in the air. Once you touch down and get to a safe speed, right-click that button to enable taxi-steering.
To disable it, press the same button again (whether it was taxi or TO steering), the PFD should indicate if it is active or not.

ok good to know. I was looking for either a youtube or webpage that talks about this in detail, they do not talk about this much in the user guide. Many usually high the virtual yoke because they have a hardware yoke or stick. Usually any button controls on the yoke can be mapped to buttons. I have not found a way yet. I would like to see MVAMS2 updated to do just that would be perfect like the King Air with MVAMS does with the flaps.

Ok I found a solution. I am using SPADNext but one command is a SimConnect command. This would work with just 3 buttons or switches which is what I used (Honeycomb Alpha Yoke - Start knob on the right side, I do not use that).

Disable Nose Steer I used Set Avanti_Nose_SteerMode to 0 (this is only needed if you want Nose Steer disabled

Steer T-O I used Set TailWheel Lock to 1 (this will also enable the Nose Wheel function)

Steer Taxi I used Set TailWheel Lock to 0 (this will also enable the Nose Wheel function)

Works Perfect, I suspect FSUIPC has this as well but it is just a Toggle, should work because it is either T/F

So one plus with SPADNext, it works like ChasePlane, each aircraft be assigned actions to control buttons. So when I switch to the King Air, all the aircraft switches work.

Just a update

Set Avanti_Nose_SteerMode to 0 to disabe it
Set Avanti_Nose_SteerMode to 1 for Taxi Steer
Set Avanti_Nose_SteerMode to 2 for T-O
