NOSEWHEEL STEERING
At low speeds the CRJ is controlled with the tiller, a control device on the left
console. It is possible to link this control to any available control axis in FSX. You
could for example link a rotary control on your joystick to the Throttle 3 channel
and then select Throttle 3 on the control option on the Options page of the CRJ
Manager. For more information see the chapter on the Configurator. Of course,
it is also possible to disable it here and use the standard FSX rudder channel.
If you are using Prepar3D V4 the Nose Wheel Steering Axis is one of the default
axis and you can define it in the simulator.
