1) SIGN YOUR POSTS. Since 1997, we have asked users to sign their real name, first and last, to all posts in the PMDG forum. We do this in order to keep conversations personal and familiar. You took the time to be here, we want to get to know you. This is one of the few rigid rules that we enforce regularly. We do so because we feel that forums in which users must engage one another personally are generally warmer, more collegial and friendly. Posts that are unsigned will be quietly removed without comment by the moderators, so to make your life easy- we recommend enabling your forum signature so that you never need to remember. Do this by clicking the username pull-down at the top right, then selecting "User Settings." You will find the signature editor on the ACCOUNT tab, about half way down the page. Look for "Edit Post Signature." Be sure to click the "Show Signatures" box.
2) BE NICE. We are all simmers here and no matter our differences of opinion, we share a common love of aviation, computing and simulation. Treat everyone else in the forum with respect even when you disagree. If someone frustrates you, walk away from the conversation or ask for a moderator to get involved. Speaking of Moderators, they prefer not to be treated as "The Thought Police" but if any behavior infringes on the enjoyment of another user or is otherwise considered to be unacceptable in the moderator's judgment, it will be addressed in keeping with our view of ensuring that this forum remains a healthy environment for all simmers.
3) BE LAWFUL: Any behavior that infringes upon the law, such as discussion or solicitation of piracy, threats, intimidation or abuse will be handled unsympathetically by the moderators. Threats and intimidation may, at the moderator's discretion, be provided to law enforcement for handling.
4) BE FACTUAL: When you post, always be factual. Moderators will remove posts that are determined not to be factually accurate.
5) RESPECT COPYRIGHTS: Posting of copyrighted material such as flight manuals owned by Boeing or various airlines is not allowed in this forum. If you have questions related to copyrighted material, please contact a forum moderator for clarification.
6) RESPECT PMDG: We love to hear what you like about our products. We also like to hear what you think can be improved, or what isn't working. Please do tell us and we will always treat your feedback with value. Just be sure to treat the team respectfully, as they do put a significant amount of effort into building and maintaining these great simulation products for you.
7) RESPECT PMDG DEVELOPERS: All of the developers will spend some time here. Given the ratio of developers-to-users, it simply isn't possible for us to answer every post and private message individually. Please know that we do try to read everything, but developer workload is simply too high to manage personal contact with tens-of-thousands of users simultaneously. In most cases, members of the development team will stick to conversations in the forum and will not answer private messages.
8) RESPECT OTHER DEVELOPERS: PMDG has always advocated for a strong development community and we have many friends within this community. Every developer offers something unique that helps to make the simming community larger and more vibrant. We insist that you treat our friends respectfully.
9) RESPECT MODERATORS: Moderators have a tough job, and none of them enjoy having to stomp out negativity. If a moderator has to weigh in to keep a thread peaceful, please respect that effort and refrain from giving the moderator any grief.
10) If you require official support for any of our products please open a support ticket through the support portal, https://support.precisionmanuals.com
11) This forum is designed primarily as a vehicle for the PMDG development team to interact with our customers, and for customers to interact with one another in a manner that is positive, supportive and assists in the general advancement of understanding the simulation and helping to make this and future simulations better.

I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing wonkiness when it comes to nosewheel steering? I find it to be incredibly sensitive with very little inertia or momentum when turning on the ground. I twist my joystick a few degrees and it's almost as if the nose wheel just turns to that direction instantly. I would think the nose gear takes some time to travel on its axis. It's very difficult for me to articulate this, so if anyone knows what I'm referring to and can clarify that would be appreciated. It sort of reminds me of the steering when the 737 NGXu came out. Some tweaks were made later on which improved it. I should also add that I do not have similar issues on other aircraft in the sim.
I have my flight options set to the most realistic settings in the sim, and I have verified that the flight model is set to modern as recommended.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
I use -70 for rudder sensitivity. My DC6 taxis fine.
I'd like to thank you sincerely. That really made a notable difference and feels much improved! Out of curiosity, what do you have your sensitivity settings for your other flight control surfaces?
I am currently not so happy with how this aircraft feels on the default sensitivity settings. I definitely need adjust these, unfortunately I haven’t found any information about how to set such settings in order to have a similar feel as in the real word

There are really no "default" settings. Everyone has different controllers and calibrations, so they must be set for each setup.
The thing (well, I'd call it "problem") is that the controls in MSFS are extreeeeemely sensitive. Normally you'd set the graph in the sensitivity settings so that the control of the aircraft moves smoothly to either side with your phyiscal controller moving the same fraction of its possible travel. But MSFS aircraft sticks don't do that, they are hyper sensitive while even hardly moving visually and then then snap to the side. all the currently available hardware controllers require extremely flat graphs with a very shallow slope around the inflexion point. But with the ends still reaching X=+/-16384 Y=+/-16384 the graph will soon raise steeply which creates a very unrealistic feeling as soon as you move your controller into the region where the gradient increases.
Sry if it sounds wonky, I've actually never learned to express maths in english xD
However we're used to much smoother controls in P3D, aircraft there are absolutely controllable with default settings. In MSFS you can barely use the rudder with the twist axis of a joystick with defauilt sensitivity settings. So you HAVE to reduce the sensitivity significantly but stay aware that the graph will increase a lot the more you turn the stick or tap into the rudders. I don't know at which degree addon developers can work against that sensitivity.
