From my guestimate the throttle lever position is about 20%. What should it be? please post sources to correct info. (not another other sim please!)

Cheers!

Don't really call that a taxi, you're not even moving at walking pace. Turning is a nightmare too, but watch real footage (and the real thing at airshows) and there never seems to be a problem.

Hope to see it fixed in the future

African! Pifft! What we got here here is a classic graphical example of 'Shin High New Guinea Highland'

TAXI- The movement of an airplane under its own power on the surface of an airport (FAR Part 135.100 [Note]).

As the question was asked before I'll repeat it. "What was the throttle setting for that?" What RPM were they running at? Do you know?
