    HI, I found this issue both in the Bae146 and in the newly released F28. The nosewheel steering when taxiing is having an issue where I cannot taxi straight. If I push the left pedal to make a left turn and then put it back to neutral the aircraft keeps a slight turn never going straight. This happens in both left and right turns. I checked my settings and no assistance settings are on, the rudder axis steering is on, and my controls have no deadzone issues. This causes me to wiggle to the runway since the aircraft will not go in a straight line. (Also wind is 0 kts to it cant be that)

    I find it more noticeable at lower speeds personally.

    Something that may be worth checking is if you have the "Rudder Axis Steering" option enabled on the EFB you will have two controller axis that can control the nose wheel steering.

    RUDDER AXIS
    NOSE WHEEL STEERING AXIS

    If one of those axis isn't centered that could be causing the two to conflict with each other and cause the aircraft to steer off to the side.

    My first recommendation in this situation would be to experiment with the "Rudder Axis Steering" option on the EFB and see if having that enabled or disabled works best for you.

    @mark I use a separate tiller axis and disabled the setting accordingly, and I have the problem. Feels like the nose wheel doesn't get centered properly. IRL that would ground the aircraft for steering system maintenance !

    This issue should be fixed in the first update. We've added better handling of the axis control inputs as they were prone to controller 'noise', which prevented the tiller from returning to a fully neutral position.

    Turn the Gustlock Lever, the Blue one on the Captains righthand side to down, then you can Steer the Aircraft normaly.
