F28 Proceedural Issues

Last flight in F28 I had an issue with the nose wheel steering. I did a back taxi for departure and the nose wheel turned to 90 degrees, preventing me from moving forward. After a while, checking lots of things, I stumbled on a setting in the EFB, which is regarding nose wheel steering. I unclicked this and the wheels returned to in line again. I'm not sure what this is for but it has been working with it on and now works with it off. I use rudder pedals to steer the F28 on ground.

Even after loading the F28 using GSX, after loading a simbrief plan, some numbers in the EFB still blink. I find the EFB loading a bit clunky. It works sometimes and not others. It might be something I miss but I'm not sure.
Just when I thought GSX was broken on the F28, the last flight test I did, it worked properly. The airport concerned has no GSX profile, that I know of (The F28 profile is loaded though).
Neither of the above are big issues, I'm only throwing them out for discussion, if anyone is interested.
Safe landings. -

@Hogan I don't use GSX, but last night after I completed boarding for a flight, the pax and cargo numbers continued to blink for me, as well. I fixed it by deboarding and then boarding again (using "instant" of course so I didn't have to wait and wait..."), but that might not be an option with GSX.

The "RUDDER STEERING AXIS" option on the EFB is used to toggle which controller axis are used for the nose wheel steering. With the option enabled the nose wheel steering will be linked to the RUDDER AXIS (the standard control method for most aircraft in flight sims). With the option disabled, the nose wheel steering is unlinked from the RUDDER AXIS and can be controlled independently using the NOSE WHEEL STEERING AXIS (a more accurate method that is used by the real aircraft).
The blinking on the EFB is intentional as that indicates that the fields can be edited (usually when the engines are shutdown, and parking brakes or chocks are in place).
Further info on all the EFB options and Boarding Simulation can be found in the F28 Professional EFB Manual: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003039/F28_Professional_MSFS_EFB_v2.pdf
